Unfortunately it was not a OEM belt. My fault when ordering. But it didn't hold up well. The edges begin to fray right after it was installed and it was a difficult install my mower type you have to remove the steering column the belt goes on both sides so I've made all kinds of mistakes ordering a cheap belt and then getting a low-grade quality I wished I had a researched it better but are these things the fault of the supplier, no just the belt if it's too cheap in price compared to others find out why.
