    That was an awesome video, I am a 62 year-old lady who doesn't back down from a challenge. And im not afraid of getting dirty. I have to tell you that video was spot on. I got it done. Got the lawn mowed almost before my son got home. Thank you very much. You are inspiring to many....

    You deserve extra "likes" for this well-documented video. You described all the "tricky" bits including clutch cable removal and idler guide positioning. Particularly important was your comment regarding flat-sided belts! I wish I had viewed your video before I attempted my belt replacement (yes, I had the belt V-side in!). I wish there was any way to ensure that, rather than paging through multiple postings, RUclipsrs with 42-inch decks ONLY watched your excellent work, this would save many heartaches! Well done Sir!

    Great job again! All killer, no filler! I love that for the most part your vids are shot in real time. This gives me a general idea of how long it might actually take me. When you get stuck (as I'm sure I will) you show how to get out of that problem instead of using the magic of editing. I hate when some videos cut away from the hard stuff. They'll show you what goes where, cut away, then show you the part in place. Clearly they had a hard time getting it there so I know I will, too. Thanks for "showing your work" as my math teacher used to say.

    Whenever I watch a RUclips instructional video (as a former teacher) I am fairly critical, but you rocked it out in every way! Yesterday, the belt broke on our Cub Cadet XT1 42" and today it became my job to replace the broken belt. The manual was fairly useless to someone like me, who doesn't often mow lawns and never repairs lawnmowers. Your video was amazing. It took me a lot longer than the video to do the replacement but it's done and I couldn't have done it without you! !Thanks a million!

    Nowhere, absolutely NO WHERE does cub cadet tell you about the 2nd spring on the deck. “Oh hey, so yeah like the mower legit doesn’t operate without that ONE spring and it’s not in the manual nor anywhere online - you’re welcome”.
    Ahem, Cub Cadet, your operators manual is missing some key information. Had to sneak a peek at this video just to find out I need that part to make it all work again. It was sheared, missing half of the spring and was hard to tell what it’s for…put everything back together and tried running but blade engaged without manually changing so wondered what was up…it’s gotta be this part and amazing that it’s so important and no where can you find this in any cub cadet information. UNREAL!
    Thank you Sir for posting, great video!

    Great video! The process was pretty much the same as on my old Troy-Bilt SuperBronco, but your video did a great job pointing out the particulars of the XT1. FYI, as an experiment, I installed the new belt without removing the deck: just dropped it to the lowest level and there was enough clearance to remove the spindle covers and loosened the tensioner pulleys. Access was a little tight, but it can be done and saved a few steps.

    I didn't take any thing off except for the 2 pulley guards and the bracket next to the engine pulley.
    Bent the belt guide's just enough to sqeeze the the belt onto the pulleys.
    No removing of the Deck.
    Awesome video, thanks.

    Solved the problem with the mower I have at our lake place on Sam Rayburn. The belt kept jumping off the mower and I didn't know how to get under it to fix it. Pulling the deck out solves that problem. Great video, very clear and explicit step by step instructions. Thank you.

    My belt ripped away after 68 hours of mowing. When replacing the belt I gave this video a look and found one of the belt-keepers had shifted and was responsible for tearing up the belt. It could not have happened if it was in the slot shown by your video. If it had been installed correctly by Cub Cadet at assembly this would not have happened as the pulley was mounted tight. Nice job with the video. By the way, I soon substituted those difficult butterfly clips with hitch pins which had been used on mowers for years.

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  2 года назад

      Hi Lester, I have noticed the quality control coming out of the factory on these machines in the last two years and dramatically decreased. I have seen issues like yours showing up. I do like the butterfly clips because they do stay on very well but can be hard to get off. I'm glad this video helped you out and thank you for the the kind comment.

    This video was insanely helpful and really the only one I could find that actually show exactly what to do in a clear concise way. So thank you.
    CHEATER GUIDE:
    To add to the already valuable information though, I was able to do this in 10 minutes without removing the deck at all. Just lower the deck as far as it goes, remove the pulley covers, put a 9/16 wrench under the left silver pulley and loosen the top nut to remove the guard, and for the second pulley all you have to do is slightly bend the guard out just a bit. I know this isn't the proper way but it was so quick and easy to do I don't see why you wouldn't do this every time. Bent it out about a quarter of an inch and then bent it right back. Looks exactly the same. That's literally it. Simple and easy with half of the hassle. 🚜

    • @JohnsonsSmallEngines
      @JohnsonsSmallEngines  Месяц назад

      I'm glad it was helpful and yes, to each their own. Most mower decks if your very mechanically inclined, you can reach in and perform the task but you do not get to check your mower deck for issues (why the belt broke?) or perform simple tasks like checking all pulleys and bearings easily. I try and make my videos so anyone can do it! and you even learn how to take off the mower deck! It's all good. Thank you for watching and the kind comment.

    I didn't even go that far, I just removed the pins, and wiggled the deck a few times, and all the sudden, the belt didn't seem to be loose anymore. I put the pins back and drove the mower around a bit. The belt seemed to stay in place this time. I hope it stays that way. Thank you. If the belt comes off again, I will come back and watch the rest of the video. lol

      The one in this video is a Milwaukee 1/4" ratchet 12 volt. I would suggest Harbor Freight for a less expensive one but not by much. You may be able to get a better deal on a 3/8" electric ratchet but my right hand is getting weaker every year and the 1/4" ratchet is lighter and easier for me to handle.
