IH CC 70 mower deck belt questions
Hi everyone. Just the other day I got my International Cub Cadet 70 to start for the first time in 20 years. However, the mower deck/mule drive belt snapped off before I even tried to engage the mower deck. I have some questions, some of them might be kind of simple but I’m not exactly understanding the set up on this old mower.
Are the mower deck belt and mule drive belt the same thing? How do the 2 pulleys towards the front of the machine work? Will this belt on eBay work for me? I have the 38 inch cut… https://www.ebay.com/itm/30149522174...Bk9SR-6ZzsqOYg Thanks for any help!

On your typical Cub Cadet tractor with a Mower Deck attached, you will have two belts:
* Mower Deck Spindle Belt * Mule or Drive Belt. Belt sizes are determined by the Tractor Model and Mower Deck model combination. IE: CC 70 w/38" Deck. Attached is a typical Mule Drive Belt application. The correct belts for a Cub Cadet 70 with a 38" Mower deck: * IH-473462-R4 Mule Drive Belt * IH-473468-R2 Spindle Belt This is assuming this is a OEM stock application and no modifications were made. NOTE: Belts generally break when there is a "mis-alignment" of the pulleys, use of an incorrect belt, and/or there is a heavy resistance (bad or dry bearings).

Thanks R Bedell
Thank you for the info R Bedell. Turns out that I was missing the mule drive belt completely and it was just the spindle belt that snapped. I just ordered the belts.

Does your 70 have the quick attach as shown in the above example?

If I’m looking at it right, yes.

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.
