Drive belt replacement
CAUTION:
The battery will be removed in this
procedure. Review the Operator’s Manual and
Chapter 7: Electrical Systems for important
safety information about handling batteries
before proceeding.
NOTE:
The variable speed pulley system that
drives this tractor counts on interplay between
two belts:
•
If one belt fails, replace both belts. One new belt
and one partially worn belt will not work the
same as two new belts.
•
Do not us any belt other than the correct Cub
Cadet part number belt. This drive system
counts on an unusual cross-section shape of the
belts. Use of a wrong belt will very likely cause
the tractor not to drive properly.
•
Check the tensioner pulley control rod adjust-
ment after replacing belts.

Remove the mowing deck.
2.
