Good thing I read throught this post as I did not know the idler pully had a grease cert, will be going over my 3235 in prep for winter snow duty.
Had all but forgotten about the axle piviot /bearing race, will need to shoot some fresh grease in that on also.

Never had the belts fall off though, have burnt up a couple sets useing the tiller, and the OEm belts are not cheap.

Went to grease the PTO and idler pulley bearings, found no grease certs.
Called my local dealer, found out they are sealed bearings.

I have a 3165 and have had the same issue since I got the mower, I have tried a new pulley but it still jumps off, I ended up just taking the shoulder bolts off for ease of putting the belts back on. Just my two cents on the subject.

The deck idler and tensioner pulleys are sealed bearing style setups, this is true.

The spindles, tensioner pivot, driveshaft, and PTO all need greased regularly.

As for the jumping belt....any insight yet into the accompanying symptoms? Its a very simple design, there cant be too many factors that contribute to the problem.

I had this problem after I had my engine out to do some internal repairs due to previous owner neglect. Still to this day I have now idea why it started after I had removed and installed the engine, but my solution was a thinner spacer on the engine between the crank pulley and the crankshaft.

Had to custom make one about half the thickness of the original. Havent had any problems since.

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.
