Default Mower PTO belt help needed
Looks awesome!

I have a 128 that I inherited from my uncle. It is rougher than a cob. I have been slowly getting it in usable shape. I had to use a grinder to get the PTO hub off. I took all advice I could find here, with no luck. Mule drive was missing parts. Tires rotten. Lift release button broken off. PTO rod turn buckle broken brakes frozen. Carb gummed up no muffler. (Like I said ROUGH! ��) the only saving grace is he never used the tiller he bought with it. My Dad tried it and the ground speed was too fast. I found a creeper box and now it works great. The tiller is like new, still had paint on most of the tines! I also pit a spring lift assist on it.

I am trying to get the mower going. The serial number tag is missing but the best i can tell it is a 48”. I bought the PTO belt listed for it 1/2”x81” and it is too long. The tractor had a tiller mounted and working. The adjustment bolts at the mule drive will not tighten up enough for an 81” belt to fit. Any thoughts?

It does matter on the size and type of Mower Deck you have, with regards to PTO Belt size.

The size of the deck is determined by "cutting width". Measure the width, snap a picture of this deck, post the picture, and I am sure we can advise on the right belt.

Steve, measure the distance across from the ends of the outer blades when they are in line. That is what is considered the width of the deck.

Default Mower belt
I would get a long piece of rope and duplicate the route of the belt,with some adjustment built in,as they might stretch a bit.Some different mfg.might be a bit different on lenghth.If you find one,save the wrapper ,makes next time easier.A good time to free up adjustment mechanism, as it is important for operation.

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.
