I know its winter time but just planning ahead. On my red 682 on the 44" mower deck runs great. After mowing for about 10-15 minutes the belt starts to shred. I am thinkin its a pulley or spindle heating up. But just wandering if anyone else could give more insite. Thanks

Check to see that your spindles are free to turn, with no appreciable play or noise.
Also check to see if the mule drive pulleys have good bearings and are not bent or @ a odd angle. also use the factory belt, a "will fit" or hardware or tractor supply belt will shred itself in short order. also look for anything that it may be hitting/rubbing on. I'm sure others will have suggestions also. |

There is a little "L" shaped belt guard that's bolted to the top of the deck, check to see if that is bent and rubbing also.
What belt are you using??

I tried one of their Kevlar blue belts my 782 /50" deck, hoping I could get by till I got the correct belt.
No problem for at least 2 hours, then it looked like a limp rope and frayed @ the edges, eventually it turned over in the pulleys. I took it back and got my money back from TSC! Those type of belts are not for lawn/garden or other applications where they run around idlers or 1/4 turns. They are for a simple application like a furnace blower or other inline purposes. Get the factory belt and they will hold up, end of story. If you must go with a non factory length because of some modifications, a Goodyear insta-power is long lived and designed for just that application. I personally have one going on 250 hours with no wear showing. There are other members here who will attest to the same results trying to run a poor quality belt. |

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.
