Description
Overview:
This V-belt is a drive belt for walk-behind lawnmowers, built to Stihl specifications for the RM 253.0 T and compatible VIKING MB 253.0 T ranges. It is an endless, V‐section belt made from a durable rubber composite with tensile fibre cords to resist stretch and maintain consistent drive. Its job is to transfer power efficiently between pulleys, helping the self-propel mechanism run smoothly and reducing slippage under load. The robust construction handles frequent starts, stops, and varying grass conditions typical of domestic and professional use. Suitable for the listed Stihl and VIKING pedestrian mowers, it is a straightforward replacement for a worn or damaged belt and helps restore reliable forward drive and consistent cutting performance.
Key Features:
- V‐section profile provides positive grip in matching pulleys for efficient power transfer
- Rubber composite with fibre reinforcement for strength, stability, and reduced stretch
- Resistant to abrasion, heat, and common lawn contaminants for long service life
- Maintains correct belt tension and tracking when installed to manufacturer guidance
- Smooth, quiet running to support consistent self‐propelled performance on slopes and lawns
- Supports reliable mower drive in damp, dry, or uneven conditions
- Built to the correct length and profile for the specified models to ensure proper fit
- Simple replacement with standard hand tools, helping to minimise downtime
- Helps reduce slippage and premature wear of pulleys and bearings
- Suitable for regular seasonal mowing as well as frequent trade use
Typical Applications:
Replacing a worn, cracked, slipping, or broken drive belt on compatible Stihl and VIKING self‐propelled lawnmowers used for domestic gardens, commercial grounds, and light landscaping work.
