I wouldn't think you would need an adjustable mount since the clutch already moves to tighten the belt. My plan was to still use the driveshaft, clutch plates and fabricate a sprocket for the bottom with clutch material on it to swap out the pulley with. My thought was chains don't need to be TIGHT, so once you got it secure, it should stay that way.

Maybe I'll have to figure something out and do a build thread on it?

Definitely something to pursue, should the need arise. I'll see how the belt holds up and go from there.

So, anybody else currently pullin' one of these belt-driven underdogs?

Just returned from the pull today. Happy to report that the little 3/8" belt had enough grip to pull the front wheels and stall my 10hp Kohler at WOT in second gear. Adding another 80+ lbs of weight really helped it grip. We're now at 1030lbs in the 1050 class.

But, it was enough to come in first place at the monthly C5rider's Family Pulling Championship! Went one foot further than my son this time. Usually he gets me by mere inches. The trash talk already started on the way home. He informed me he's already got plans and new techniques for next month's pull.

Can't let the youngins win EVERY time!

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.
