Default 882 mower belt adjustment?
I have an 882 that has the 50" deck. It says 50c for the model. I installed a new belt and a new adjustment spring. I believe I have the proper size Cub Cadet belt from my Cub dealer. It seems like the belt is too long, mabe an inch. It works perfect but I am at the end of adjustment on the Jhook. J hook sticks out the front like 4". It also seems like the one pulley is closer to the front than it should be. Do I have the wrong belt? Does anyone know the proper size and part number Cub Cadet belt if mine is wrong? Do I mabe have the wrong mule drive bracket? Here are some pics. Thanks!

The Belt is correct.

I would suspect, that the tension spring for LH Pulley (facing mule drive) is not installed correctly, thus not putting the correct tension on the belt. Don't ask me how I know this.

what holes do you have the mower frame and the front idler pulley bracket bolted in? I know the rear holes are used for the supers but there are 2 other sets if I remember right

I have a new spring installed and can only see one way for it to be installed. Do you have any pics of its proper installation? Thanks

I didn't notice any extra sets of holes. I will check in a few minutes and see if there are more than one set of mounting holes. Thanks.

It installs only one way, but the "tang" has to be properly positioned to apply the necessary tension.

I'll see if I can take a pic's this morning and post 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.
