John DeereOriginal Equipment Flat Belt - GX20072

I purchased the John Deere Original Equipment Flat Belt (GX20072) to replace a worn-out belt on my John Deere lawn tractor. As a homeowner relying on my mower for regular lawn maintenance, I needed a reliable, OEM part to get back to work fast. This belt delivered exactly what I needed—a perfect fit, solid performance, and hassle-free installation.Packaging and DeliveryThe belt arrived well-packaged in a sturdy box with John Deere branding, ensuring it was protected and undamaged. It was coiled neatly and secured to prevent kinks or creases, which is crucial for belt longevity. The packaging included a clear label confirming the part number (GX20072), making it easy to verify compatibility with my tractor model before installation.Design and CompatibilityAs an OEM part, the GX20072 flat belt is designed specifically for certain John Deere lawn tractor models (e.g., LA100, LA105, D100 series, and others—check your manual for compatibility). The belt’s construction feels durable, with high-quality rubber and reinforced fabric that matches the original. It’s engineered to drive the deck blades efficiently, and the dimensions were spot-on for my tractor, ensuring a snug fit without stretching or slipping.Performance and InstallationInstalling the belt was straightforward, taking about 20 minutes with basic tools (sockets, wrench, and a screwdriver to remove the deck). The belt fit perfectly, sliding onto the pulleys with no issues, and the tension was just right after reattaching the deck. I was back to mowing within an hour of opening the box, and the belt performed flawlessly, powering the blades smoothly with no squealing or hesitation. My lawn was cut evenly, and the belt showed no signs of wear after several uses.

A bought a knockoff brand and the first time it was used the tractor eat it. This belt is better quality and not that much more expansive. The belt arrived a day or two after placing the order in good condition with installation instructions which thanks to youtube I didn't need, but still good to have. It fit like a glove. I would recommend and would buy again.

Great OEM belt! Don’t mess around with aftermarket crap. Fit is excellent!

Bought a cheaper replacement belt to try & save a little money, lasted minutes & shredded. This John Deere belt went on fit like, original & works great.

Several months and still holding up, so worth the money

Bought this belt for my LA120. This seller had the best price for this belt. John Deere belts last longer than any aftermarket kevlar belts. This belt is specifically made to John Deere standards by John Deere. I've tried every aftermarket belt out there and this is the one that lasts the longest. It costs more than the cheaper ones, but it will last much longer.

Fit perfectly. Easy to install on our John deer mower. Back to mowing

Holding up very well but let’s see how long. They usually last two years
