Default 2082 Drive Belt Adjustment

Good evening fellas,

I'm back with a question about my 2082 with the 54" GT deck and I need another nudge in the right direction. Last time I mowed I ended up having to stop halfway through and do some work on the belt tensioner on the deck. It wouldn't hold tension on the deck belt, so I cleaned up the spring with some PB blaster and compressed air and it seemed to free everything up so I could get the yard done. While I had the deck out I did grease the tensioner. When I was putting everything back together I noticed the PTO drive belt was way out of adjustment as per the 324 deck manual I've got. I picked up a brand new belt from the local dealer and yesterday I installed the new belt and tried adjusting everything again, and I can't get it adjusted the way the manual wants.

If I adjust the adjustment arm in, so the pulley and belt ride lined up with the V notch in the frame (Right side as your looking from the front), the left side is way off (has the spring loaded arm with a notch to hold the pulley back). If I adjust the arm out, and pull the spring loaded side back in so the V notch on that side is positioned correctly, the adjustment arm side pulley rides way forward of it's V notch and almost touches the front of the frame. I've included a couple pictures as I'm sure you guys can't picture what I'm saying from my babbling.

Thanks for the nudge.

Right side adjusted


Left side adjusted

Post a pic of the mule drive, I want to see how you have it mounted. This is a Super with a Haban but it will give you an idea of what I need to see.

Yep they sure do. Just my 2 cents but I would get a shorter belt. If you have a TSC near you take your old belt and match it up then get a couple shorter belts, keep the one that fits the best and return the others.

Thought maybe you had the sub frame mounted in the wrong holes but your good.

Everything looks ok from here, just looks like the belt is too long. X2 for a shorter belt.

Any idea(s) on why the belt the factory calls for would be too long for the application?

You got the part that it calls for. I'd still take your old belt to TSC and get a couple that are shorter than what you have. I just went through the same deal on one of my 2182's with a 60" Haban. I was basically Bush hogging with it, something that I know is wrong and picked up a branch that caused the PTO belt to jump off the deck pulley. Long story short it destroyed the belt so off to TSC we go pick up 3 different size belts and use the one that fits the best. The supposed Cub size and what I ended up using don't jive. BTDT.

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.
