When I bought the tractor it never had one. I've been breaking my stones each spring mounting the deck. I have metal stock laying around figured I'd just make my own.

I just lost one on my 50C. I made one from flat stock that I had lying around. I made mine 7" long but if I had to redo it, I would go 7.5 or 8.0 inches. I used a "T" configuration instead of the OEM "L" design. I placed a slight bend near the 3/8" hole to align with the idler pulley. See images

My mule doesn't have the ratchet either. I stick a 9/16" wrench in the slot, engage the nut, and push on the wrench to slack the belt for install/removal.

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.
