Default Belt removal

OK, so I've decided the S/G belt on my 149 needs to be replaced. What's the best and easiest way to do this? Do I need to remove the front PTO pulley? Cubs are like boats....if you don't like to tinker with them, you shouldn't own one.

OK, so that sounds fairly easy. Remove the PTO belt and the S/G belt will slip off then too, while the PTO pulley stays put. Yes??

Yes, pull the pin out of the front pto adjustable rod and take the rod out of the little lever. Push the front engagement lever forward (might need to remove the grill to gain enough room). Take the pto belt off of the pto. Loosen the starter/generator bolts and push it toward the engine to give slack to the belt. take the belt off and replace then put everything else back together.

Don't try to over tighten the S/G belt as it will cause the bearings in the S/G undue wear.

Well, I finally got a chance to get some time with the Cub today. I loosened the PTO belt and removed it. I took the right-side PTO control lever off and pushed that pulley forward and removed the PTO belt, which was running my snowthrower. Loosened the S/G and removed that old belt too. Went to my friends at the local NAPA and got a replacement belt. Turns out, that old belt was not meant to be on a starter, but rather more like an electric motor. Oh well. The new belt fits down in the pulley much better than the old belt and works great. Thanks Steve, darkminion, and Yosemite Sam. Your help is greatly appreciated!

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.
