LTX 1040 timed deck blades and belt?
I have an older, low hours LTX 1040 with the timed deck. It has been pretty reliable for the past 5 years but I hit a dog rope toy my kids threw in a pile of leaves. The rope wrapped around the blades and threw off the timing belt causing the blades to hit each other, heavily damaging them.
The timing belt survived the incident but I need new blades. Is there a shorter blade set for this mower that I can use to avoid the timing in the event the timing belt skips again? The deck also uses a shorter deck drive belt that the non-timed version. Does anyone know the length of the belt. Most of the part info I can find on the LTX doesn't list the pre 2009 version info. |

And shorter blades will do you no good. You'll be leaving uncut grass between the blades. Could you put up some pictures of the mower, and damage you speak of? I looked the LTX 1040, and it shows it's built between 09-14, in that series, pictures would help.

The answer is no. The blades have to be long enough to overlap each other or it will leave uncut grass behind. You will also need to replace the timing belt, if it skipped once it will skip again and ruin your new blades. I speak from experience because my neighbor had one I worked on, she hit something and it did the same thing yours did, the belt looked fine so I put it back in time and it only made it about two minutes before the blades started hitting again. I installed a new belt and it was fine after that. I got her an off brand belt from eBay for about half the money and she mowed with it for two years until the engine blew.

Make sure the mounts for the spindle housings are still tight/not broken. Friend of mine had a Cadet with a timed deck and somehow his housings got messed up.

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.
