I'm a little confused about what I am seeing in the photos showing the tensioning spring. I have a 450 and a 451 blower and neither of them have that round rod with the spring attached, are you sure it is a 450/451 blower? It looks more like a 551 as far as the tensioning system and the lower carriage goes. Here is what the 450 currently attached to my 2082 looks like. Also the pulley that you didn't change, the rusty one, looks like it is on an angle. Maybe the bearing or mount pin is worn. Are you mixing parts between a 451 and a 551?

No the belt is right side up. But I discovered that one of the augers has a broken shear pin. I don't know if that makes a difference in the balance and that causes it to come off. I heard that not running a cub cadet belt would make it jump off but I don't know if that is true

Well I'm not sure about mixing the parts. The tension rod was on it when I bought it. The rusty pulley spins fine and even. I'm stumped

Ok, that isn't a 450/1 it's a 551. Lower frames are different on the 551. What is the SN# of your tractor? The early SN#'s call for the 450 blower and the late for the 451/551. You may have the wrong PTO for the particular blower you are using which would throw off belt alignment.

Grasping straws here.....

No, the sheared pin will not make the belt go funky. Not related at all.

Yep, that's what I said.

Yup its a 551. 2 of the upper mounting pivot bolts seem loose which I can move the bower forward and back but I don't think that is it either. One of the shoulder bolts where the blower slides over when you mount it is tightened more than the other. I'm thinking the blower mount isn't back far enough. I'll try that tomorrow. What's your thoughts on not using cub cadet belts?

If you are messing up the correct, big $ cub belts as it is. I would use cheaper belts until you get it figured out. Just my

Look at all postings (15) it took to get the right model number of the implement.

This is why it is important to give complete and accurate information from the original post.

Buy a blade. Those do not throw belts.

Seriously though, I have no idea why the blower is throwing belts. Good luck.

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.
