Default Mule drive pulley bearings
While I was cleaning the engine drive on the 122 I wiggled the two pulleys on the mule drive. One of them felt pretty tight and the other one is a little loose. I figured I may as well pull it out and see what it would take to replace the bearings. It appears the assembly is two shells that are riveted together so I can't tap the bearings out.

Has anyone changed these out before? It looks simple enough to use the Dremel and cut the rivets off, split it open and get the bearing out / replace and rivet it back together, but I did a quick search on the bearings and nothing came up. So is it even worth it and should I just leave it alone?

From what I am learning with this ever expanding hobby there are more aftermarket products out there not referenced to the IH /Cub name. I have been researching this board and apparently these are pretty common for many applications. My CCO has cast iron pulleys and the bearings have been purchased and changed, but when I ran into this 122 and searched I came up with nothing until I saw a post you could get them at NAPA.

Thanks for all reply's.

I replaced mine with ones from NAPA. Not only are they inexpensive, the V is deeper than the stock pulley and helps keep the belt in place ( more important with the long tiller belt )

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.
