the center [pivoting] section of the frame is installed upside down the bar that has the forked end on it goes on the right side of the tractor ,you should see where the round bar under your tractor is worn

It's on correctly. Look at the pics in post #1.

I bent(over bent) the pulleys back so they angle towards the center deck pulley and it did not help, might have made the interference a little worse.

I took the entire mule drive and subframe off. This baby is worn a lot, the pins that lock the mule on and the "clevis" part of the subframe are worn the worst.

I did notice one thing though that is hard to tell from the pictures. The two main subframe bars are bowed so that the rear of them is moved to the right maybe .375"......it's quite noticeable when looking at it. Also, the rear hole in the left bar that the spring loaded deck pin goes into is .375" lower than the right side. I could see that making a big difference in my interference.

I can't see any reason they should be that far off when the entire unit is laying flat on the ground, and it makes sense that it got tweaked since the whole thing is bowed to the right.

Any ideas?

That thing is pretty "tweaked". I'd try straightening it out and see what that does.

I took the whole deal in to work and straightened out what I could......it didn't help a bit. I can't figure this thing out, I'm driving myself crazy.......I'm an engineer and this is my kind of problem to solve.

There is just no way with the parts I have that the belt can't interfere......unless I have something installed really wrong. Either I have to lower the mule drive pulleys to lower the belt path or I have to raise the deck hangers way up so the belt passes under it further. If I raise the hangers I will probably lose any lift I have....which isn't much at all.

I am just stumped on this. I'm going to need to step back and just take a different look at it.

IIRC, the Mule Drive Pulley are 4" diameter. It doesn't look like the ones pictured are 4".

I wouldn't have admitted that.......



The problem is the ass end of the sub-frame is bent too far to the right. I don't know how straight you got it, but if it still hits it's not enough. Either straighten the thing, or find another. FWIW, it's the same subframe as any GT.

Look here:
The bar on the right side should be straight. The one with the arrow on it.

Yours is bent here:

I am confused. Seems we are looking at two different 50C decks. One is painted yellow and one is painted white. Which deck is the one being used...????

The yellow deck is one John posted for reference; the white one is the one the OP has that needs to be straightened

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.
