Default Cub Cadet 1605 Drive Belt
Getting ready to change the drive belt on the 1605 (trans drive belt). Did they make it a pain, or is it relatively mild? I guess once I get it up in the air I will see for my self, just looking for any advice from someone who has done it on this model, or one in the same series. The trans locked, and as a result it smoked the belt so bad it has a big flat spot in it lol. Fixed the trans, but the belt is so bad, every time the flat spot comes around the clutch pedal moves up and down lol. Thanks for any advice, TB

Yes sir, had a little bit of that fun last night. Got the deck and the pto off. Then got the drive belt off of the front drive pulley, and also the trans pulley. And now im at the part where you knew I was going to have the most fun! Getting the belt off of the remaining pulleys with those keeper rods (dont know what you call them), the keepers that make sure the belts dont come off the pulley. Those rods are welded to the bracket I noticed, may have to remove a pulley or two to get the belt out of there, or more importantly, getting the new belt back in. Ahhhh, its just nuts and bolts, thats what we live for. Thanks, TB

Never mind, shows over. Once I got under the thing, twisting the belts just right, it game right out. The new one went in just about as easy. The thing that really sucks is laying on your back in the dirt. But that's ok, along with a new 100 by100 shop with a concrete floor and air conditioning, I'll go ahead and put in a lift (mays well add that to the dream, its wont increase the cost). Thanks, TB

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.
