Default Cub 127 belt install
So dumb question but tonight while mowing with my 127 the pto belt came off. What is the easiest way to reinstall it? I had to take the nut off the front off the mule drive that pulls the pulley towards the front and use a pry bar on the other pulley that is attached to the mule drive with the spring. Am I missing something easier? Thanks

Sounds like belt is not the right one, should only need to back off adjusting nut and start around pulley's and it should climb back on while pulling belt around with hand, that's my experience with them.

In 45 years of running my 127(s) the only thing I ever had to loosen or disconnect is the pto button actuating rod in order to get space for the belt replacement. I have never had to loosen up anything anywhere else.

Sounds like I have the wrong belt. With the belt tensioned there are prob only 3/8" of threads on the adjuster bolt showing.

I'm not saying that it can't be the wrong belt, but if it ran all last year with it..... What do you think?

How about some pics of you mule drive and your attempt to put it on....

Ok so tonight the belt came off again and I put it back on and tightened it a lil more than I did last night. It again took pry bars to get the belt on. Within a 100ft of mowing the belt shredded. I should clarify that I bought the mower towards the end of the summer and only cut dry grass as opposed to this year when the grass is growing like crazy and wet. Would this make a difference? And do u guys know off hand what replacement belt I need? Thanks for all the help.

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.
