I have owned this John Deere 955 with 72” deck for 25 years and this is only the 3rd belt that has been on it, the original, a John Deere replacement belt, and this one. The quality looks, but I just put it on and time will tell. The only thing I felt was different was this belt might be a little shorter. It went on ok, with a little more effort, and the spring that keeps tension on the belt was stretched pretty good, maybe the belt will stretch a little after use. The cost savings was close to half the JD belt, and if it lasts as long it will be quite a bargain. If it doesn’t, you’ll hear back from me
