The 44-50 pulleys are at an angle and the 38/42 pulleys are straight back (you want the 38/42 mule drive). I tried using a 44-50 mule drive and smoked my new $60 belt. Never again!
The last long belt I bought for my tiller was around $85 IIRC. That was about 4 years ago and through an IH/Cub Cadet dealer.
Good thing is it still looks brand new, even after 4 seasons.

The PO may have been a plummer.

On these mule drives, if I find one that has the angled pulley's can I just straighten them? Would you leave the spring tensioner or replace it with a bolt type tightener?

Noticed some Hytran leaking around the left middle bolt on the rear diff cover. After reading prskier17's thread on his 1650. I wonder if mine suffers from the same broken piece around the bolt hole. Hopefully its just a bad gasket. I guess I will find out when I change the Hytran. Sounds like this is not uncommon on these tractor's. Anyone know what causes it?

I took the 1450 back to the orchard and did some mowing. Work's pretty good. Lot's of power and the old Kohler really smoothed out at the higher throttle setting. I didn't get any pic's with the tractor, but here is the orchard and the roadway thru the field to it.

I'd be willing to bet those are 2.5" long bolts, so you can't really tell how tight they are by
the pic. The OEM bolt length on those ISO's was 2.25", and you can never find those at the local hardware store. I bought my 2.25's online.

Thanks CC1650Dave, I'll check the bolt length next time I work on it.

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.
