Cub Cadet Drive Belt Replacement: The End!

- Will installing the new pulley and drive belt on our 2015 @CubCadetCA XT1 be a walk in the park, or will it push me over the edge? There's only one way to find out: watch on!

I was pretty relaxed until I watched this... now I'm aggravated and tense. lol Ya gave it the good fight! Cheers from Iowa 😎
Haha! I'll tell ya what, it sure drives nice and smooth now!
Easy peasy lemon squeezee! LoL nice work on this one 👍🙌 another day at the office 😂
Thanks Ryan!!
Well I can tell in a few more years there's going to be an assistant mechanic. 😁👍
Oh, for sure! He's crazy about anything with wheels!
@@ShopKatIndustries Right on 👍
You're a double clicker, eh? That is Carmudgeon approved.👍
Awesome video brother. Yeah those belts on cub cadets are a royal pain changing. Thanks for sharing. Keep the incredible content coming . Hope you have an amazing night. Much love and RESPECT
Thanks Tim! I likely made it harder on myself, but that makes for more entertaining footage haha!
Job well done, hope you continue to feel better!
Thanks Jim!
Nice work getting that belt and pulley on there. 👍👍👌👌
Good video brotha! Nice work getting the belt on!
Appreciate it!!
I love the Cub Kaput moniker. Some of these lawn tractors can be downright difficult to work on. When I work on our John Deere I tend to use quite colorful language.
Lol! A lot of jobs have been pretty easy, but this one...oh, this one...I hope it's another 7 years until I do it again lol!
Working on Cub Cadets seems to be a full time job for me lately! Good stuff!
Haha, and I notice practically half my subdivision has Cub zero-turns! Ours has generally been excellent, if I'm honest. Glad I won't be doing another drive belt any time soon!
Any job that doesn’t require dusted knuckles or blood is good.👍👍🇨🇦
On my Husqvarna GTH2548, I discovered that the floor plate was easy to remove and gave me much better access to the pulleys from above. My damaged pulley was a V pulley and not an idler, and was not as badly damaged, so I am going to try to keep using it. My drive belt did repeatedly pop off and destroyed itself, and the damaged pulley didn't help, but I think the main cause was because the pulley mounting bracket was bent, so the pulleys were out of alignment. I found it reasonably easy to bend back the mounting bracket, maybe a little too easy because it is none too stiff. My pulley froze because the bearing seized, either from rust or lube starvation or both.
I should order a new belt at least, but I might happen to have one the right size in my collection, so I am holding off until I can get out there and look through my junk. I bet graphite powder in silicone grease would lube these pulley bushings pretty well. I Also noticed that most of the replacement pulleys, for mine, are steel rather than plastic. Also mine is on there really tight, so I'm not sure I can get it off easily, which is another reason to try to run it with the damaged pulley.
I had definitely thought about attacking it from the top! But I think a lot of things would have had to come off.
Hope you'r feeling better SK .
Maybe some goats or sheep would be better option and they provide grass control and a great Sunday roast or some yummy salami when a bit older.
Haha, funny enough, Mrs. Kat wants goats in the worst way! I like them, too. We have a nearby goat farm that raises the nicest little Nigerian dwarf goats.
Glad to see you have that Covid under control, it's not nice ya get a bit fuzzy in the head at time's or at least I did, hope the rest of the family is well, thanks for the information on the tractor, mower, all the best to you and your loved ones
On the bright side, Covid provides a great excuse for all the OTHER times I get fuzzy headed haha!!
A grinder could fix some of those tight spots.
Haha, an access panel in the floor is not a terrible idea!!
If it was easy everyone would be a small engine mechanic! I think after this I'll invest in some hungry goats (lot less working parts)! 😆
We want goats pretty badly, lol!!
How’d you get the front pulley off?!?!
Hi Isaiah! Are you asking about the pulley on the engine? I just unbolted it and it came right off. I expected a fight but it didn't give me any! I'm guessing yours is not coming off so easily!
@@ShopKatIndustries so once you get resistance, keep going essentially 🤣
@@isaiahtorres91 some times it's fix it or f... it lol! There's a square key in there so it might be hanging up on that. It's not going to be very easy to use a 3-jaw puller on and the risk of bending the pulley would be basically 100% I think!
Does that spacer need to go on a certain way or is it reversible
The one above the drive pulley is reversible; as for the ones on the belt pulley, I just can't remember...I think it was not reversible.
Yeah the pto spacer I didn’t know if it went on a certain way
@@user-bx3ix6zs8y I want to say it had a little step in it, and went on one way, but it was a while ago...and I no longer own the tractor so I can't take a look for you!
@@ShopKatIndustries like a chamfered edge
More like an indented center, I think?
