Confirm that the original belt is marked M169485 or UC39236 before ordering.
Primary Deck-Belt Position
Many compatible John Deere mower decks use separate primary and secondary belts:
- The primary deck belt transfers power from the engine-mounted PTO clutch to the mower deck.

M169485 / UC39236 is commonly used in the primary deck-drive position on compatible multi-belt mower decks.
This listing includes one M169485 / UC39236 belt only. It does not include a separate secondary spindle-drive belt.

The supplier lists select X380, X384, X390, and X394 mower-deck configurations among the compatible applications.
