Changing The Transmission Drive Belt

NOTE: Several components must be removed and

special tools (i.e. air/impact wrench) used in order to

change the tractor’s transmission drive belt. See your

Cub Cadet dealer to have your drive belt replaced.

Changing the Deck Belt

WARNING: Be sure to shut the engine off,

and remove the ignition key to prevent

unintended starting before removing the belt.

WARNING: Avoid the possibility of a

pinching injury. Do not place your fingers on

the idler spring or between the belt and a

pulley while removing the belt.

All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should

be replaced if any signs of wear are present.

IMPORTANT:

The V-belts found on your tractor are

specially designed to engage and disengage safely. A

substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not

disengaging completely. For a proper working machine,

use Cub Cadet genuine factory belts.

To change or replace the deck belt on your tractor,

proceed as follows:

• Remove the belt keeper rod from around the

electric PTO clutch.

• Remove the cutting deck as instructed earlier in this

section.

• Remove the belt covers by removing the screws

that fasten them to the deck. Refer to the figure

below.

• Loosen, but do not remove the deck idler pulleys.

• Remove the deck belt from around all pulleys,

including the deck idler pulleys.

• Route the new belts as shown in the figure below

and retighten the deck idler pulleys.

• Remount the belt guards removed earlier and

remount the deck to the tractor.

• Re-route the belt around the electric PTO clutch

and reinstall the belt keeper rod.
