Are you running the correct width belt? It takes a 3/8" wide belt. My 100 had an "A" width 1/2" belt when I got it and since it didn't fit into the deck pulley deep enough, it kept coming off. After the belt fell off and got cut by the blades, I went to the Cub dealer and got the correct Cub belt. I've been mowing with it for 3 or 4 years now and the belt hasn't come off yet.

Yes It is the right belt, and I replaced the center spindle bearing at the same time. And yes I know a Cub should mow more than 60 feet at a time, I spent my formative years of 12 - 14 mowing with a 100 every summer for hours on end. That was 40 some years ago, so it is most likely cumalative wear of the deck mounts, althought the front bearing issue sound intriguing, would not have come up with that one right away. At this point the backhoe is coming off the Kubota and the Landpride will get the majority of the mowing done, althought it does not fit in the vineyard which was what the cub was tasked with. Thanks for the help everyone, I was looking for known belt jumping problems and some of you were very helpful with that..

Well it turned out to be several things that contributed to the nose of the deck being out of alignment. First the hanger bolt on closer inspection was a welded up DIY shouldered bolt - that needed to be treaded down to get the full adjustment. Did that on the hottest day of the year. The frame that goes into the hangars was worn enough that it had to be hard welded & reground to take up more slop. The cadet belt ended up breaking during all the trials and was replaced by a Dayco low HP belt that looks much beefer than the IH P/N (Dayco GPL L481 if anybody needs one - it is cheaper than IH too). After spraying last night Lily (as in Lily of the Vineyard) did a fine job mowing between the rows of new Cabernet vines. Pictures will be forth coming - thanks for the help guys!

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.
