The Murray 2170164SM Lawn Mower V-Belt HA 077.10 is a drive component designed to transfer rotational power from the engine to the mower deck in compatible lawn mowers. It works by looping around the engine and deck pulleys, allowing engine motion to be transmitted through the belt system to turn the cutting blades. This movement enables proper blade rotation during mowing. Its design matches the required pulley alignment and routing pattern, allowing straightforward installation during routine equipment maintenance.
