Default 682 CC belt tensioners

Does anyone have a pic of the front belt tensioners. Mine look crooked. Should they be parallel . I can't figure how to upload a pic.

Assuming you're talking about mower deck idler pulleys- no, they angle back to the right if you are looking at the front grill of the tractor. I think individually each pulley is at a slightly different angle.
I don't have a mower mounted right now to get a good pic for you.

My dad had problems with the angle on those pulleys on the mule drive. He would only get about 3 mowings before the drive belt shredded itself. When it first happened, he thought it was an old dry-rotted belt, but when the replacement did it again after 3 mowings, I knew we had a problem. With yet another belt mounted, I took the look at the path the belt took. Eyeing up the belt as it passed over the pulleys, I could see the right one had a twist and the was pointed toward the rear tire. I was misaligned so much the belt was riding up out of the sheeve as it left the pulley. I took 2 adjustable wrenches and with them adjusted to hold onto the swing-arm for the pulley and with one up near the swing point and the other down near the pulley, I "adjusted" the angle on the pulley so it was pointed toward the drive pulley on the deck. I did the same sightly on the other mule drive pulley. So far, he's gotten 2 seasons with the same belt - big improvement. I don't know how the arm got twisted, maybe it got hit with something while doing other yard work with the tractor. IDK....

They both should be bent to the right for a 44C, or 50c deck. The 38C should be straight.

Thanks, dad had a 60" deck. I don't know how the one arm got really twisted, but it was really off the mark and pointed to left field when he asked me to look at 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.
