MTD 754-04090 Replacement: Compare 2 Options

How to find your model number

Check your model number before you buy a replacement for the 754-04090. Engine parts are matched by the engine model, not the mower model.

If the old belt is still readable, the part number is often printed on its back. To measure it, run a cloth tape along the outside of the belt and note its width.

Spring maintenance

Check the drive belt before the first cut: replace it if it is cracked, frayed or glazed, or if the mower creeps or slips on hills.

Maker's part vs aftermarket: the 754-04090

We did not find MTD's own 754-04090 on Amazon. 2 brands sell a drive belt listed as its replacement, including C-YONG, LTACOOL.

• Maker's own part: made and sold by the equipment or engine maker (for example John Deere, MTD or Briggs & Stratton). Usually the highest price.
• Aftermarket parts: made by other companies to the same size and fit. Usually cheaper; materials and build quality vary by brand.
• Before you buy: find your equipment's model number (see How to find your model number, above), compare the size of your old part, and confirm the fit on the product page.
