You have to unbolt the engine and slide it forward enough to remove the belt. Then slide it back after you change the belt. You may also have to remove the front casting and hood, depending on your muffler, so you have enough room. Now You Know why the Narrow frames went to the electric lift. Because it a PIA to change the Hydraulic lift belt

Unbolt the back two engine bolts toward the operator. Then, use a jack to jack up the front of the cub under the grill casting just high enough to allow the front axle to freely float up and down. Secure the back tires of your tractor for safety. Now gently rock the front axle down on one side and remove the engine bolt just above the axle. Repeat on the opposite side of the cub. Carefully tilt the engine forward as you maneuver the belt between the engine and driveshaft. That will allow you to set the belt into the pulley. That's 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.
