UDC Parts Snow Blower Auger Belt 114" aramid cord — Craftsman/Husqvarna fit, 5/8" width, heavy-duty tensile strength

UDC Parts 114-inch aramid-cord auger belt replaces OEM 47846 to restore heavy-duty snow blower power and reliable traction.

If your snow thrower has lost bite or the belt is frayed, this replacement belt from UDC Parts is built to bring back consistent auger rotation and extend component life. Designed for a direct fit on many Craftsman and Husqvarna models, the belt pairs a 114.00-inch circumference with a 5/8-inch width and high-tenacity aramid cords for better tensile strength under load.

What does this belt replace and which machines will it fit?

This UDC Parts belt is manufactured to substitute OEM part numbers 47846 and 47278 and matches belt layouts used on a range of Craftsman and Husqvarna snow throwers. It’s made to align with the pulleys and clearances those models require, simplifying installation and minimizing adjustments.

• Replaces OEM: 47846, 47278
• Compatible with Craftsman models: 48624839, 486248391, 486248392, 48624838, 486248381, 48624837, 48625840, 48624853, 486248531, 486248400
• Also fits Husqvarna LST42B, LST42C, LST42D
• Exact 114.00" length and 5/8" width for correct routing

How is the aramid cord construction better for snow blowers?

Aramid fibers are chosen for belts that face heavy loads and repeated starts under cold, abrasive conditions. Compared with standard cord materials, aramid maintains tensile strength and resists stretch, which helps the auger keep consistent speed and reduces slippage when moving dense or icy snow.

• Aramid cords resist elongation for stable auger RPMs
• High tensile strength handles high-horsepower demands
• Durable under cold temperatures and abrasive particles
• Improves belt life versus standard synthetic cords

How do I install the UDC Parts 114" auger belt?

Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools and a safe workspace. Remove the old belt, check pulleys and idlers for wear, route the new belt following the snow thrower’s belt path, and verify tension per the owner’s manual. If routing is unclear, consult your machine’s service guide or a local small-engine shop.

• Park on level ground and disconnect spark plug or power
• Remove belt guards and note routing or photograph before removal
• Fit new 114" belt to pulleys and adjust tension as specified
• Test auger engagement at low throttle before full operation

Will this belt improve performance or longevity?

Replacing a worn belt with this aramid-reinforced unit restores consistent power transfer and reduces slippage, which helps the auger operate efficiently. While belts are wear items and not a cure-all for mechanical issues, this belt’s heavier construction aims to deliver longer service life under typical snow-clearing conditions.

• Reduces slippage for more effective snow clearing
• Aramid reinforcement extends service intervals
• Maintains consistent power transfer to the auger
• Helps prevent premature belt stretching and failure

Who is this for: This UDC Parts 114" aramid cord auger belt suits homeowners and maintenance professionals who own compatible Craftsman or Husqvarna snow throwers and need a durable, OEM-replacing belt. It’s ideal for users seeking a heavy-duty replacement engineered to resist stretch and perform well in cold, abrasive snow conditions.
