If you look at the pdf for either #1 or #2 it shows a belt guide that goes on the front of the transmission my guess it is for keeping the belt from slapping too much which could cause the belt to come off pulley on gear box. The guy I bought the tiller off of didn't have one he said he never used one, so my guess is it isn't that important. As long as the belt is good and tight probably don't have to worry about it. Hopefully somebody that knows for sure will post something on here.

Yes, I've done it. Just bend them and be done with it. I added a second eye bolt in place of the spring, although I'm not sure it was needed...I don't use it on my 782D and the tensioner spring works fine and the belt doesn't slip, but that has a 5/8" belt, so...

Don't worry about the belt guard, either. I've never used one and not had any problems.

My opinion, the belt guide is needed. I've used my tiller quite a little bit and occasionally, the belt will jump off when the tiller hits some hard ground. I HAD a belt guide but I have not been able to find it and put it on. I also still have the tension spring for belt tension. Using the spring, it MIGHT cause more belt slap when working in hard dirt. NOT USING the spring might result in a broken belt.

My experience is using the smaller belt on a Quiet Line series.

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.
