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.
Steve
