Our take
The best thing about the HAZKO 954-04050 Auger Drive Belt is a part-number match for 954-04050. No buyer reviews yet, so the HAZKO 954-04050 Auger Drive Belt has to win you over on paper. The catch with this HAZKO auger belt: it only fits the machines it lists, so check your manual before you order. We'd pick it if the auger slows down or stalls when the snow gets heavy; otherwise, put it next to the Stens 265-249 Belt for MTD Two-Stage first.
Before the HAZKO 954-04050 Auger Drive Belt ships, check your model number: it is sold as part 954-04050 for MTD and Troy-Bilt, 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.
