What it's made for: an auger that slows down in heavy snow.
Two belts close to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
The profile and length the listing states, for part 954-04050A. A belt that is half an inch too long slips in heavy snow, so match the part number, not just the size.
What it has going for it
1/2" × 35". When the engine runs but the auger barely turns in heavy snow, a stretched or glazed belt is a usual suspect. Match the part number, not just the length.
The listing names a 1/2" × 35" profile, part 954-04050A and MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt machines.
Auger and drive belts look alike and aren't interchangeable. Match the part number from your manual, not just the length.
What the BOAISDHY 954-04050A Auger Belt listing names:
Your manual and the model plate on the frame decide the fit, not the photo.
On Oct 30, 2026, that price put it in the cheaper third of the 10 belts we have a recent price for.
Match the part number first and compare prices second; the cheapest part is the one you only order once.

Our take
The BOAISDHY 954-04050A Auger Belt is about a 1/2" × 35" profile, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so this BOAISDHY auger belt has to win you over on paper. The catch with the BOAISDHY: it only fits the machines it lists, so check your manual before you order. We'd pick the BOAISDHY 954-04050A Auger Belt if the auger slows down or stalls when the snow gets heavy; otherwise, put it next to the GnDaYoug 954-04050 Auger Drive Belt first.
Before the BOAISDHY 954-04050A Auger Belt goes in your cart, check your model number: it is sold as part 954-04050A for MTD and Craftsman, and fit is model-specific.
Look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone.
Take a photo of the old belt before you take it off. The routing around the idler is the bit everyone forgets.
Parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.

Both score 7.0/10. Compare the listings side by side to choose.
We rate it 7.0/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
The listing states a 35 in clearing width. Those are the seller's best-case numbers: wet, heavy snow and the packed ridge the plough leaves both cut the throw short. Our clearing-width planner counts how many passes your driveway takes at that width.
Only if your manual agrees. A listing that names a long list of compatible machines is the seller's claim, not proof of fit: match the part number in your operator manual before you order.
Its listing states a 1/2" × 35" profile. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your exact machine is worth confirming first.
Your model number: look for the plate on the frame, usually under the handle or behind the engine, and copy the model and serial numbers into your phone. Belt routing: take a photo of the old belt before you take it off. The routing around the idler is the bit everyone forgets. Do it in October: parts are easy to fit in a dry garage and miserable mid-storm. Our parts guide lists what is worth stocking.
