belt question...
 

I have a 42" deck on my 100. I took the deck off as I want to clean it and prepare it for painting. It's worked well the times I've used it for mowing, but the belt is really ratty and I'd like to get another before i put it all back together.

So... is there a resource on the site here that can give me original part #s for belts and such? Or maybe one of you fine folks knows off hand what kind of belt i need?

This is the drive belt that runs off the motor and through the... 'mule' assembly? Is that even the right terminology? If not, mark it up to Noobism. You guys know the belt i mean...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a link to the belt chart: http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=4633

It looks like you need IH-473462-R4 3/8 X 81"

Thank you, Petrus! i knew i was in the right place!

I guess it's not quite that simple because I looked it up on the Cub Cadet web site and it looks like it depends on what kind of mule drive you have, bolt on or quick attach. Here are some screenshots:

I don't have a 100 so hopefully those who have one will chime in.

Oh yeah and here's how I got to the parts lookup for those who are not familiar with it:

Screen shots didn't show, but i'll look into it. thanks again...

Basically the Cub Cadet website says that if you have the bolt on mule drive you need belt IH-473462-R4 and if you have the quick attach mule drive you need belt IH-490489-R2.

By the way I just ordered a couple belts from Cub Cadet a few weeks ago and they shipped them to me with no sales tax or shipping charge. :IH Trusted Hand:

The 100 will have a "Bolt On" Mule drive.

Go with the chart: 3/8 x 81"

That's what I use on my 100 and also my 124 for the PTO belt.

Use the cub belts, They are worth it!
