Mule drive pulley adjustment
i'm getting ready to install new pulleys on the mule drive of my 127 with 42" deck. i have read in previous a previous post (http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5) that the mule drive pulleys should be equidistant from the front of the mule drive and the pulleys should be adjusted so that the belt makes as close to a 90 degree turn when viewed from the side. When adjusting the tension nut on the right side (when looking at the front of the tractor) pulley, if the nut is tightened that pulley will move forward and the other pulley will move backwards. If it is loosened, the opposite will happen. What is the correct way to adjust these pulleys? The manual states that the pulley with the spring on it should be 3.5" from pulley center to inner face of hanger. What if you adjust so that you achieve the 3.5 inches but then there isn't enough tension on the belt? In this situation, if you tighten the adjustment nut on the other pulley, it will bring this pulley closer to the hanger and the springed pulley distance will start to be greater than 3.5". Furthermore, the pulleys won't be equidistant from the front of the hanger.

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.
