Default Cub 104 belt problems
So I'm getting mower ready for spring. Have a few Problems. I have a 42 inch deck on a 104. Deck has the cast cap up front. I need to replace the mule drive pulleys. Looking for replacements as we speak my main problem is the belt from the PTO to the deck. Can someone give me a length and width of this belt or the correct part number. Would be much appreciated. To add the mule drive pulleys are 3/8 width correct?

I replaced my pulleys with a pair from NAPA ( note, prices are from 2012 ) They have a deeper V and they've been working great for 9 mowing seasons so far.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I put NAPA idler pulleys on both my 125's mule drives.

Part # 7-05212 V-BELT IDLER PULLEY

two required per mule drive @ 8.99 each

The pulleys I replaced with the numbers given were on the mule drive in the front of the tractor for either the mower deck or the tiller.

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.
