NF hydro lift belt
 

I just about have my hydro lift restored for my 100. Just wondering if any body has a belt number for it or the size. I was hoping to get one from NAPA.
Thanks
Tom

I would highly recommend spending a few more dollars and using a genuine Cub Cadet belt due to the amount of work involved to change the belt.

this will tell you the length but I agree with Jeff.

That's a handy link. I saved it! :beerchug:

Thanks for the link to the guide. I found the correct part number, 386160R1, 3/8 X 33 long. I will pick one up at Napa today. I have no issues running Napa belts on our farm tractors for the fan, water pumps and ac compressors so I am not worried about using one for this hydro pump. I will not use a aftermarket belt for a mower drive belt that has to go around a mule drive.

Dad mentioned once about those NF hydro units at the shop he worked in someone would wire up another belt in the area (somehow) so if/when the hydro belt took a dump it'd be easier to replace than pulling the engine/rear end.

Good idea but I don't think I will have to replace the belt for a long time. The 100 does not get a lot hours in a year. It mainly is used to till the garden and also I mount a sprayer tank on it to spray the yard and around the buildings. I also scored a IH front blade that will work on it so it may get used some to grade the driveway.

I finished the Hydro lift for the 100 a few weeks ago but got busy with farming and never took the time to post some pictures. I had a chance to use it when I tilled the garden and it is great not having to lift that heavy tiller by hand any more. I should have put this on years ago when I first bought it. Here are a couple of pictures.

I rebuilt hyd cyl with new piston, shaft and seals. also resealed hyd pump.

Wow that looks great there Tom! Nice to see going the extra mile and doing a good job putting it back together, sweet!

Thanks, As I stated I wish I had installed the pump years ago when I first bought it. It was in very rough condition and I got discouraged when I tore it down so I boxed it up and kind of forgot about it. It sure makes operating the tiller easier. I restored the 100 about 15 years ago and I polished up the paint when I installed the hydro unit and I was surprised how well the paint still looks. It is IH Federal yellow and IH 935 white with hardener.
