Default CCO mower deck question again
So I got my pulley that connects to the engine and spins the blades. I have been adjusting the tension of the pulley with the big bolt that goes across the front. Now the problem is when the belt is connected I cant get the blades to disengage they are always spinning, is there an exact tension I have to have on the belt or what?

The pto belt for the O is always running. The blade shutoff is on the mower deck itself. I do not recall what adjustments can be made on mower belt tension but do know the mower belt itself is a toothed belt and the blades must be timed with one straight ahead and one side to side or the blades will hit each other.

I understand the timing thing but the blades are always spinning I cant turn them off.

Sounds like you need to adjust the linkage from the foot pedal on the deck, as it sounds like it's set too tight. Also, make sure you have the correct belt going from the middle pulley to the left hand blade spindle. Too small a belt won't allow the middle pulley to disengage.

Do you have the pulley covers? I think the belt guard had a piece that stopped the belt from spinning once tension was released

There is a semi circle piece under the cover that looked like a horse shoe.

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.
