Reason #2 is what I was trying to say earlier...just couldn't get the correct wording in my brain to make it make sense. If I were you, I would have a couple of those pulleys on-hand incase one gives out. I had the bearing fall out of one of mine in the middle of the yard. I had to wait to order one because nobody local stocked it. |

We have a lawn MOWER again
Lance and all,
First off, Lance, you are most welcome. I gave this country and our Navy 28 years of service, and would do it again right now if they were to let me. But it did a number on me physically, so I have to be very careful with how I do a lot of things.... Still no real regrets though. Second off, as you will see in the pictures below... yeah... the spring was the issue. LOOK AT THE SIZE DIFFERENCES!!! So, I yanked the deck back out yesterday, I do love how easy installation and removal of the deck is on these things, and thoroughly greased it. I had to thread the center spindle for a grease fitting, and it took thirty to forty pumps on the grease gun to get grease coming out of the bottom collar at the blade, but I did get it. After that, I re-installed the deck, got the belt on, put the spring in, and tightened the tensioner nut. I fired the old beast up and eased the PTO handle forward... the blades started to spin so I fully engaged the PTO and throttled up.... no belt jump, no weird noses, a little vibration, but all and all, good to go. I am going to go do some actual mowing here in a minute and will report back. I have some big tall nasty stuff that the wife doesn't want to take her Crapsman through... so the big, old, nasty, ugly, Cub is going to do it.... And maybe I can get a real yard again, instead of a jungle... Here are the pics... Thanks all for all the help, I greatly appreciate it. I hope that I can be as helpful to others as you guys have been to me. John

Okay, here is a question. It works fine all the way up, and on just the first notch or two going down... after that it throws the belt. Any ideas???
Once I reset the belt, I started back up, eased back into it, got the blades running and started mowing in the first notch down, and it did behave. I managed to get some mowing done, but it seems that my dry rotted left front tire decided to develop a major leak. So now I get to fix that!!! John

That sounds like a deck alignment issue. When you lower it, the belt comes out of alignment with the mule drive pulleys and is coming off. Check the adjustements on the deck hanger to be sure it's not sitting nose down or nose up. Make sure it sits as level as possible when in the "mowing" position.

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.
