Default 147 with Danco FEL belt replace question

Hi All,
The belt broke on my 147 that spins the Danco loaders hydraulic pump.
In my case the pump is driven by a pulley at the back(?) of the engine. The pulley is mounted to the shaft which also has a fan blade and ultimately drives the hydro transmission.

It seems the way to replace this belt is to slide the engine up and forward.
So my question is...
will the shaft slip out of the engine or pulley as I slide the motor forward?

Is there something on this shaft that need to be disassembled first?

I see 3 bolts on the pulley (1 appears to be missing), and other screws on the engines flywheel cover screen. Do I release these? OR, should I dissemble the flexible coupling at the opposite end of the shaft?

And just for clarification, what is this pulley called? Is this the rear PTO?

Thanks in advance for you help!

Rick

There is a roll pin at the end of the shaft that should slide out of the coupling that is bolted to the flywheel of the engine, unless someone has monkeyed with it in the past. To unbolt the engine, I chalk the rear tires, jack up the front of the cub after loosening the two rear bolts to the frame from the engine and then rock the front axle so that I can access the bolts above the axle in the frame to the engine. Once the bolts are out, the engine should slide gently forward to allow you to replace your belt. Jack stands would certainly be warranted for safety, as well. Good luck with your repair and let us know if you need anything else!


Best regards,

Thanks 123!
So, do I need to remove the rollpin first? Or will sliding the motor forward reveal the rollpin, but I should leave the pin in place?

Wow, this is a lot of work to replace a belt!

Do not remove the roll pin. It's not much fun!! Just align the roll pin with the slots in the coupler (that might mean you have to turn the flywheel a smidge or the driveshaft a smidge) and the engine should slide right out. You may take this time to inspect your coupler to see if it is all notched out. If it is, then you might consider replacing it.

Since this is new territory for you. I would suggest that you unscrew your clutch cover screen first so you can see what is going on from the top view. It will make more sense to you then.

You are more than welcome Rick...

For whatever reason I could raise the engine a couple of inches and roll if left or right within the frame. But I could not slide or tilt it forward. It felt as if it was teatherd by the drive shaft.

Unbolting the pulley did the trick, allowing me to tilt the motor and slide the new belt in.

There was a slight cam out on the hub, but not enough to allow the rollpin to get hung up. In any case it's all back together now and it spent the last two days moving dirt!

Thanks 123 for your assistance!
Rick

If you can move your engine at all, either the mounting bolts are loose/missing, or the frame is broken around the bolt holes. Sorry, I missed the post where you DID unbolt the engine.

To move the engine forward after the front PTO needs to have the adjusting arm loosened up so the engine can slide. Did you loosen the arm? If not info for next time.
Glad you was able to change the belt.
Later

Default Belt Questions

I recently inherited a 147 Cub from my father in law. I need a new belt for the mower deck as well as the snow blower.
The serial of the 147 is 2050041U397578 and the snow blower is QA42A U1111. If you could help me out with what belts I need, that would be great!

Hey John. Welcome aboard to the forum. It might be best for you to start your own thread so that you don't hi-jack someone else's post/thread. No harm done, though. Just so you know for next time and we look forward to you posting a lot in the future!!

The forum has a "Resources" section which has a "Technical Section" that includes a wealth of information, including electronic version of the owner's manuals, etc.

Here is a belt guide that I found there that you might find helpful!!

Can't wait to see pics of your 147!!! Keep us posted on your progress and work with it. Let us know if you have any questions.

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.
