Model #551 Snow Thrower on a 800

Hello, I just bought a snow thrower model #551(2 stage) and I am trying to put it on an model #800 Cub. It hooks up to the tractor perfectly, but when I put the pto on, it run the thrower for about 5 seconds and then it throws off the belt. I went and bought another belt(2" shorter). Same thing happens. As I look at the pto and the bottom pulley on the thrower, it does not line up straight. The belt comes up from the bottom pulley on an angle. It's not much of an angle but I think it is enough to throw it off. Has anyone come against this kind of problem. Any suggestion would be helpful. I thought if I could just space out the pto, that would work but I don't know if you can do that. Maybe move the motor forward, again I have never done anything like that. I just want it to work.

Thank you in advance...................Frank

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.
