Default Just picked up a model 72

And besides a few minor adjustments to eliminate a few rattles, I need to pick up the belt that goes from the front PTO to the 42" mowing deck (what's that belt called?). Could someone please tell me what size (length and width) belt I need to drive the mowing deck? Will post pictures later today. Thanks very much in advance. Paul, Providence, RI

Default IH-490489-R2, thank god for Google

The mower deck deck drive belt for this tractor with a 42"deck calls for an IH-490489-R2 belt , which tells me nothing about the length or width of the belt. However, a Google search brought up an Ebay listing for said belt and listed it as an 81 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch wide. Off to Tractor supply I went and bought both an 81 and an 82 inch belt as apparently Tractor supply doesn't carry half sizes. Turns out that the 82 inch belt fit the best so on it went , but during the install I noticed that the center "button" of the PTO clutch was pretty worn so I figured I may as well make this right , right now. I was fortunate enough to have a complete PTO overhaul kit so I completely rebuilt the PTO before running the mower deck. So without further delay, here are some pics. And yes, the original owner did some touchup work with a spray can, but he did use the correct paint. [/QUOTE][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Default Looks great

It looks great . But. I would be a little concerned where that fancy exhaust stack necks down. You really don't want that to get hot.

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.
