MTD 954-04050 Replacement: Compare 9 Options

How to find your model number

Check your model number before you buy a replacement for the 954-04050. On a snow blower the model and serial label is usually on the back of the frame, below the handles, or on the auger housing.

• Briggs & Stratton engines: the model, type and code numbers are usually stamped on the engine shroud or on a sticker on the blower housing.
• Kohler engines: a label with the model, specification and serial numbers is usually on the blower housing.
• Honda engines: the engine type (for example GCV160) is usually cast or printed on the engine block, with the serial number nearby.

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.

• 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.
