Default Cub Cadet 1250 Belt Size
New to the forum and I have been doing a lot of searching which brings me here. I have a Cub Cadet 1250 and I bought a replacement belt for it. Well the belt is to long and I do not want to buy another one until I know for sure what size I need. The one they sold me is 3/8 x 80. At first it seemed to work as long as I had it adjusted to the max tension but if I get in any thick grass it just slips on the belt. All my searching tells me I need either a 3/8 x 79 or a 3/8 x 78? So if anyone knows the size and part number I would greatly appreciate it!

Tim

IF everything is original and correct, the correct belt for this setup is IH-59971-C1 which is 3/8" x 78".

Thank You very much for getting back to me on this. They assured me it was the 80 inch belt and it turned out to be $30 wasted. I will get the new one on order.

I'm also starting back on my 1250 and there are no tags on the mower deck

I measured the overall width at 54 inches. Seems a little big but okay.

How do I determine if it's an a, b, c or ?? lol

I remember from last fall all three blades seemed equal in length.

The rear wheel brackets look like this model(not my deck).

Your deck is most likely one of these. 44A or 5OA inch built 1974 T0 1981. The 44c and 50c were built 1979 till mtd . All the decks 44, 44a, 44c, and
50, 50a, 50c used the same blades and belts. You will have to post a pic.

To determine deck size, measure the distance from outside blade tip to outside blade tip.

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.
