They are a Royal PITA. I use a pry bar that is about 3' long. One end on the pulley and against the pivot for the tensioner. Pry bar in red, direction to pull the pry bar in yellow.

Just had this exact problem. thought I had the wrong belt. used a prybar on the tensioner, and had to grab the belt and roll it around the pulley to get it on. crazy tight.

Welp, that explains why my engine Boggs WAY before the belt even thinks of slipping

It can be done without a prybar but it takes two. I held the idler back while my son in law slipped the belt over the last remaining pulley. Good to see the prybar technique as I don't usually have another pair of hands available.

The Hayban made 3 deep chops into a stump root before the kevlar belt burst and there was a piece 3 - 4 inches long missing from the OAL that I didn't find.

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.
