Smile Mule Drive Spacer

While rebuilding my mule drive, I have seem to lost the spacer that goes with the idler adjuster on the mule drive for my 149. The PN: 545687-R1 is NLA. Could someone give the depth so I can machine one? Or maybe someone has an extra I can buy? Thank you for your time.

That spacer is no big deal. All you need is a bushing with an OD that will slip through the idler adjusting bracket that is slightly longer than the thickness of the bracket. It needs a 3/8" ID for the bolt that goes through the pulley.

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.
