108 mule drive help
Greetings all,
New guy here with a question/request for information on a cub cadet 108 mule drive. I recently got the old, 72/73ish 108 that my parents had when I was teenager. I remember beating that thing like you wouldn't believe and it kept coming back. It has the Kohler iron block 10 engine that my dad rebuilt a few years ago. The past 3-4 years it has sat at my parents house in an open sided carport and the elements weren't kind to it. With my folks getting older and not needing it, and me wanting it for the bulldozer blade in the winter, I dragged a VERY DIRTY, GREASY AND ABUSED old friend over my wifes rather strenous objections...... her main one.... IT IS BUTT UGLY. Well, I got it home, pressure washed it, scrubbed and greased things that hadn't been greased in years, rebuilt the carb, replaced the ignition switch, and fixed a few minor wiring issues, and hit it with some cans of spray paint to get it looking reasonable again. So the wife doesn't quite hate it as much now. Now you can go out, pull the choke, tap the throttle up just a nudge and touch the ignition and it fires off immediately!!!! It sounds AWESOME!!! Now here is my problem. I went to hook up the mower deck, and after much greasing and hand spinning the blades, got them turning smoothly, so I slid it under, got the mule drive out, with a new belt and hooked it all up. I love how easily everything hooks up on this thing.... except on rather glaring issue..... I think that my dad rebuilt the mule drive, and didn't get it back together correctly as there it will not sit tight back against the slide pins on the side of the frame without the pulleys dragging on the frame. Can someone get me some good pics of their 108 mule drive to comparte to??? thanks, John

Well... that didn't work.... I guess my tablet doesn't like me today. I do have pics in an album on my profile though if you want to look and can help me out. Thanks, John

Hi John, did you look in the tech library here? http://www.onlycubcadets.net/pdf/38_...p%20Manual.pdf
The manual should help. If not, I can take pics of my mule drive, in a couple of days. Let me know if you need them.

Tommy,
I have that manual, and did try to adjust the driver according the directions, but I couldn't get the new belt tight though. I am wondering if it is a combination of the belt is a 5/8" vice 1/2". I do know that my dad did some welding and other work on it... so that is why I want some good pictures to compare off of. Also, are the pulleys supposed to be able to pivot to almost 90 degrees of separation between them?? John

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
