2182 Cub Cadet with a 4th blower
 

I'm having trouble with the blower it keeps throwing the belt. I changed 2 of the 3 pulleys and the mounting bracket that holds the tension pulleyes and I changed the spring. Any ideas?:beer2:

If you can post some pics someone may see a problem.

What belts are you using...........?????? :Huh:

Using mtd belts from a farm supply cub cadet dealer. I'll post pictures a little later

What do you mean "the 4th blower"...??? :Huh:

My guess is autocorrect didn't like 450 or 451.

You're right auto correct:BangPC:

I don't have enough experience with the 450/451 blowers but something looks off with that belt tensioner. I have the same sporadic issue with mine (the couple times I dry ran it :biggrin2:) the belt will hop off the PTO when engaging it. I just pop it back on and I'm good to go but still weird none-the-less. I will be following this thread. :bigthink:

Looks like the belt may be upside down on the lower pulley in the second pic. May be just they way I'm looking at it. Don't know if you put it on that way or if it flipped over.
