Default Deck drive spindle issues
Last year my deck drive belt kept jumping off and I think I know why now. getting the deck ready to put back on and the center pulley is quite wobbly in an up-down direction. I'm letting the liquid wrench do its work so I still don't have it off and can't be sure whats going on yet. Looks almost like there are spot welds on the pulley wheel that may have busted? It doesn't really wobble side to side like I'd expect if the bearings were shot. I always keep it greased but I suppose it could be bearings.

I'll report back if/when I get it off but I thought maybe someone has ideas in the meantime. I'm still far too broke to afford any serious repairs...

yeah, got it off and it looks like the welds broke between the pulley and the hub. Hopefully they can quick-weld it without killing my bearing, because I really don't want to disassemble it if I don't have to.

Using a fluw core welder won't hurt the bearings. The harbor freight 110 wire welders are perfect for this. Just stitch weld each side as you go.

I'm not a welder myself, but I'll pass that along to the shop I'll be using.

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.
