Default chewing up my belt

Hey Guys:

I have a Cub Cadet 100 that I mowed my 1 acre lawn with the first time great. The second time I did, the belt kept coming off. The belt was very worn and cracked so I replaced it. Well I tried to mow again and the cut was very uneven and it got about half way through, when the new belt let loose and was all chewed up. Please help

Thanks

Paul:

There can be a couple of reasons why the new belt let loose. (A), was the belt the correct IH recommended belt? (B) Are there any pulley issues (cracked, worn, or bad bearings)? (C) Are pulleys and belt have the proper alignment? (D) Do you have the proper belt tension? and finally, (E) are the deck spindle bearings in good shape?

These are some things to check...!!

The mower deck on my 73 was chewing up belts on me, and it turned out that there was significant rust build-up in the groove of the pulleys. I cleaned it up with a wire brush and haven't had any issues since...just another thought. Good luck with it. Jason

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.
