Default Drive Problem LTX 1040

I have a 2011 LTX1040 with the automatic transmission (not hydro). Drive problem started at the end of the 2nd season, in the fall when I was mulching leaves. It would slow way down when climbing the small bank by the street. The next spring and summer it was OK until fall when the weather got cooler and it didn't want to move on the bank or when turning real short. The next spring, I put a new drive belt on and all was good until now that its cool again and same thing. Now it's out of warranty. I have been able to use it but have stop and start a lot to finish my mulching. I can't see what's going on that well from the operators seat, but it looks like the main drive belt is slipping on the PTO pulley. Anyone have a problem like on one of these or anything else? Thanks for any help.

Jim

Your transmission is not automatic, it is a single-speed gear transmission with forward and reverse gears, and neutral. Speed is varied by your foot control which causes a change of pulley size thus varying the speed of the input shaft of the transmission. They call it the CVT System (which I think means constant variable transmission). Your belt is stretched because niothing else can slip. Reverse is not so bad because different tension is put on the belt in reverse but it will eventually slip also. There are two drive belts involved, they reccomend replacing both as a pair.
They are not the hardest job to replace but doesn't give great joy to a first timer either. If you want to tackle it, go to this link, page 24, starting paragraph 17, for detailed instruction.

Also, it will be easier to work on if you have the tractor raised up somehow so you can slide underneath.

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.
