Use a punch and hammer to tap on the bracket until the wheels stop turning. Shut the tractor off, tighten the bolts and restart the tractor to test ( sometimes the adjustment moves a little when you tighten the bolts). If needed, repeat adjustment. Good luck.

Oh. Ok, the mounts are slotted. I'll have to take another look tomorrow. I'm done in the garage for the night.

Loosen #22 + 24 then you can move the bracket up or down to adjust as needed.

Got it! Thanks all. Just as indicated, loosened the bolts and moved the bracket and it's all good. Made all the difference in the world! Functions as it should.

So here's a related question... The bracket is pretty much at the end of it's range of adjustment. So at some point down the road, if the problem comes back, and I have no more adjustment, what will my option be? Or will it likely never need adjusted again?

As an added suggestion. When you remove the driveshaft to replace the hydro fan, disassemble the CV joints and clean/re-grease. Replace the rubber boots if torn or questionable. The boots can be sealed to the shaft with a tie wrap. The shaft has a zerk. Clear the old grease.
We all love pictures.

Well then, pictures you shall have! I'll snap some next time I'm wrenching on it. I don't believe my driveshaft has rubber boots, so I'm guessing they rotted off and weren't replaced by the previous owner. I'll add them to my order.

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.
