Why did my deck drive belt break?
This is my BIL's deck from his LT2180. I hooked him up with this tractor only a couple months ago after the Snapper ZTR that he bought new a couple years ago was turning into a POS. Looking back at it now I'm surprised the Snapper lasted as long as it did. He has only put 28 hours on the Cub, at the rate he's going I'm not so sure it will survive a couple hundred. Told him to keep it dry and to blow the cuttings off after mowing, guess that is never going to happen. Grass on the deck was starting to rot. This is the third belt in less than 30 running hours. Pulleys are perfect, spindles are nice and free. My guess is it's run WFO all the time and what ever they hit with it who cares. Man I hate it when people just flat out abuse nice stuff. I'm done hooking him up next time he should get a walk behind. Rant over.
I'll post some before and after pics of the hood of this tractor tomorrow. Just shoot me for trying to help this moron out.

Look at the torn up steel lip at the front of the deck. Ya think that could have made any sounds as the blades were hitting it or maybe stopping the blades from turning? He needs a goat.

Wow, sure looks like Cub abuse to me. Make some rubber blades then they would just bounce around instead of destroying stuff. I doubt if a good cut is much of a concern.
 I'm guessing that you won't be loaning your equipment to him.

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.
