Is the pulley on the #2 cast as well as that of the #1. I would not use any other than cast.

Wig, as Matt said the inner part of the pulley is cast with the outer part being stamped steel and riveted to this. I have checked all the parts books I have available and this is the way they come from the factory. The shaft diameter is 3/4" on all of the gear boxes. I would consider trading if this works for you. thanks john

Did some research on the pulley of a #2 and it has the same part # as the one on a #1. ( for a 1/2 " belt) Is that true? I found that on Cub Cadet factory parts website.

Wig & others...There's a #2 tiller and there's a #2B tiller. The only difference is that bottom pulley on the 90* gear box. The #2B tiller has the pulley requiring the "B" Section belt and was for use on the 82 Series and later Model Cub Cadets.. The #2 tiller uses the same pulley as the #1 and 1A tillers.... It's all in CPE-2.... Ya gotta have those manuals guys...

Can you tell me where to obtain CPE-2 manuals. WEhat does CPE-2 stand for? Are they on the web or paper manuals I would have to buy? The #2 was the only 2 series tiller on Cub Cadet. com parts that is why I figured the pulleys were the same.

Wig, check on this site under "technical library"

MattG, you don't think a billet aluminum pulley is strong? They've been using them on racecars for years. Ofcourse like I said, finding one with set screws is another issue.
wig, your shaft must be rusted, or a setscrew still tight....the pulleys should just fit snug enough that you can slide it off and on by hand....with the set screws loose.

Not for this application. There is a pretty big difference between accessories on a race car engine that consume no more than a couple horsespower driven by a 3/8" belt without too much tension and not much overhanging load, and a tiller that will use ALL of the tractor's 10-20 hp (depending on model) with a 1/2" or 5/8" belt that is many times tighter and further away from the end of the shaft. Cast iron is much stronger than aluminum. Additionally, never use an aluminum pulley on a snowthrower, either, for the same reasons. They can break and injure someone.

WIG... FYI: CPE = Consumer Products Equipment (parts manuals.)

CPE-1 is the IH Parts Manual for power washers, trimmers, & portable heaters, etc.

CPE-2 is the IH Parts Manual for Cub Cadet Equipment like snow blades, mower decks, tillers, etc.

The CPE-2 manual can be obtained from www.binderbooks.com and probably both if interested.

I have seen a picture somewhere of a noncast pulley being used on a thrower and the results wasn't pretty

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.
