I had the same problem with one of mine, so I switched the upper arms from one side to the other and all was good.

I was informed by another member that the right side arm is made for the belt guard to bolt to it, since I don't have any belt guards I didn't realize there was a difference.

IIRC the other member said that he had to bend one of his arms, he may be along shortly to tell you exactly what he did.

Is it still when you set it down?

You can adjust it some, but for the most part, it's just their nature. I've heard some guys say sometimes you can swap the upper links side to side and it helps. Another note, how tight is the belt? It doesn't have to be super tight.

I adjusted my upper arms using a hydraulic press. You can see the results here: http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=43136

I took the arms off and compared them. It was clear that the angles were different. I figured out how to bend each so it would match the other. I decided that adjusting the right arm would rotate the tiller so that the belt would be in alignment. I bent the arm using a hydraulic press so that the angles matched the left. You can see the results in the above post.

I tilled up a garden for my wife this spring. The tiller worked great!

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.
