Question regarding QL mule drive pulley size...
I noticed when looking at the Cub FAQ regarding belts, that there are 2 PTO belt sizes listed for the QL series - depending on "pulley" size.
When I purchased my 1450 I remember the PO (who'd gone out and bought a new PTO belt for me before I'd picked it up) stating that he'd had to take the first belt he'd bought back and exchange it for one an inch different in size. (I don't recall which way - up or down...) He was an older gentleman who bought cubs at auctions, cleaned and resold them. Looking at the FAQ I now realize what the issue was. So, I need to check the pulley on my mule drive and I'm guessing it is the less frequently found of the 2. I'm assuming this based on his experience with cubs and the fact that he was caught off guard with the need for a different sized belt, so I assume that he hadn't run across too many of the size on the mule drive he sold me on the tractor. So, is there a compelling reason to use one pulley size over the other - such as a change in blade RPM? I've got a "project" 1650 with mule drive as well. I'm guessing I have one pulley of each size and am wondering which mule drive to put back on the 1450 (my mower for this season) if it matters at all. Thanks, -Calvin 44",50" W/4.5" PULLEY IH-59971-C1 3/8 X 78" 44", 50" W/5.0" PULLEY IH-117465-C1 3/8 X 79"

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.
