No, one mule drive for a deck, and one for a TILLER. Not a blower. Blower has it's own mounting system. That discussion was on another tractor. You mule drive should have straight pulleys. But check alignment anyway. Seems like we seem to be having a lot of guys who have the angle of the deck wrong too. Puts the pulley on the deck at the wrong angle and eats belts.

Well, well, well. That explains alot! The mule drive I have is the angled pulleys. Been using it for tilling AND mowing. Guess I'll be on the hunt for one with the straight pulleys! Thank you gentlemen very much!

First, there is only ONE Mule Drive for the Mower Deck.

There are two different belts for your combination (125 w/48" deck). It depends on which 48" deck you have. There is a difference in the Center Pulley depending on the generation of 48" deck.

How about a picture of your deck focusing in on the Center Pulley.

Ok gentlemen, the verdict is in. The belt that runs from the pto, around the mule drive pulleys, and then around the drive pulley on the deck IS a 1/2x80" Bought the 75 1/2" and it was waaaaayyyyy too short. Soooooo....... back to tsc for the longer one. Hoing this clears up the belt debate. Will post pics tom with part number for future reference.

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.
