Thanks Cub Cadet 123!! The information has been very useful. I ordered the wear button and am waiting for that to come in. I finally was able to take a closer look at my mule drive and it appears something somewhere is bent. I thought the pulley bearings were shot, but upon a closer look it appears that the left side pulley is rubbing on the frame. I took some pictures for the experts to look at and give me some advice.
First I'd like to make sure that my mule drive isn't missing any components. Does everything look like it's there? Looks like a very simple system. I was thinking about trying to bend the metal back, but it's hard to tell exactly how it's supposed to be. I figure if it's not just right I'll just have belt issues in the future, so I guess the next best option is to find a good used assembly on ebay or something. Does the PTO look ok to you all? Is the PTO pulley supposed to spin whenever the engine is running or should it stop when disengaged? Mine spins whenever my engine is going now. Thanks for all of the help I really do appreciate it.

The center button on the PTO is supposed to have a radius on it, not worn from the arm to a point. That will have to be replaced. The fingers still look usable. Jeff

Steve,
Jeff is correct. That PTO button is worn down. Without a doubt, it is from running the pto arm without a wear button on it. So, loosely translated, that front PTO will need to come off so start spraying some PB Blaster in the holes around it that contain the screws that hold it in. It has double set screws that are sometimes a challenge to get out so soaking them in some lubricant is quite helpful. Also, the PTO should not move while the engine is running and the PTO is disengaged. You will not be able to solve that issue until you replace the wear button, the PTO button, and adjust the linkage arm to the PTO, so don't worry about it moving right now until replacement parts are installed. Once you get these wrinkles ironed out, then you are going to have a nice, heavy duty machine there. Cub Cadet 123

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.
