LT1045 - Drive Belt or Transmission??
Greetings fellow CC'ers!
I have been thrilled thus far with my 2006 (I believe 2006) LT1045. I read all of the reviews before buying and saw that maybe the newer CC's aren't build like they once were... Last Saturday, I was cutting the grass at my cabin and going up a little hill when all of a sudden my mower made some weird noise and stopped moving forward. I quickly moved it to level ground and turned everything off. The mower made some "hissing" noise, but also sounded like something was spinning... but I couldn't locate what it was. I gave it a few moments to just sit and then started it back up, it started right up. The PTO worked (cutting blades were spinning), but the mower still wont move forward. I immediately thought... great, everyone online (reviews) were right and the transmission just went out... After reading more on this site as well as watching a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrxE1SKacxo), I learned that there is a drive belt that connects from the engine to the transmission. I didn't know to look for this best last Friday, but I am going to go back out there this weekend. I did see that fan was still connected and in one piece, but didn't know to look for a drive belt. I am reaching out for any pointers of what I can/should be looking for. Also, does this sound like a belt issue, opposed to the transmission? I am happy to provide any other details, but please know you have a newbie here, so technical terms my be difficult, but I will get there! Thank you in advanced for any and all guidance, its much appreciated.

Just my 2 cents but I think you need to take a look under the tractor and see if the belt that runs from the engine to the trans is in place. If not you have a belt problem if yes you may have a trans problem. Kind of difficult to diagnose with the info you have provided.

I have no experience with this model, but I remembered a similar problem with the same model from this post , spinning sound and no go. It was the belt.

My LTX 1045, 2010 model has thrown the drive belt twice.First time it wadded around the main pulley and was a dandy to remove. Both times it took out the fan also. Helps to have an impact wrench to remove the rear pulley. But hope it is the simple fix.

A neighbor drug his 1045 up here last week because it wouldn't go forward or backward. He got a stick in the drive belt and that kicked it off the pulleys. Put the belt back on and it was okay.

This past weekend I was able to sneak away to my cabin with my daughter. We removed the deck and tilted the tractor over and saw that the belt did come off some of the pulleys and was stuck at the top of one of the pulleys. I was able to finagle the belt off of the pulley where it was stuck and pretty easily guide it back on. Then I just looped it around the other pulley with the slack from the tension spring. It was actually really easy to fix. I have included the before and after pictures for others to review if they have the same issue.
I did notice the belt is a little frayed along the bottom but still seems to still be solid… I don’t know if that is from the belt coming in contact with a stick or of this is a sign of the belt wearing out. I assume the right thing to do is to replace the belt? Any thoughts? Thank you to everyone who added their input, I am just happy that this time it wasn’t the transmission that went kaput! Thank you!

Sounds like you are back in business. Glad you got it fixed and that it was a simple solution.

Get a new belt, that one is about done. Once you have a new belt ready to go the old one will live forever.

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.
