    Of all the "How to Videos" I've ever needed to use, this one is by far the most helpful. It took me maybe 10 minutes longer than the video itself to complete this job. Thank you.

    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.

    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!

    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, TH-camrs with 42-inch decks ONLY watched your excellent work, this would save many heartaches! Well done Sir!

    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.

  • @yugas42

      I’m glad it was helpful. Try not to cut wet or very tall grass. Not sure if that may have been the cause. Driving to fast while cutting in high grass will also put a very big strain on the mower deck belt and cutting too low in high grass will also make the deck work very hard.

    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.

      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.

    Whenever I watch a TH-cam 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!

    I have to say, the BEST, and most informative belt change on the cub cadet yet. Great 👍 job.
    I have really bad knees, so when I'm down, I need to make my moves count.
    Plus I live on and island, not to many people to help

    I hate to be that guy to talk about ur disability but I wanted to say that ur one hard working man that many people can learn from. I own a auto repair shop, I’ve been a professional auto technician for 20 years and I worked on mowers all the time with my grandpa before working on cars and I know many mechanics that couldn’t tear apart this mower and put it back together as fast as you did. Again I’m sorry to come on here talking about ur disability but I had to say something, u really are kicking some ass better then most people without disabilities. God bless my friend!

      Yes, the machines that have manual blade engagement. The belts seem to be very loose but you do not want the engine pulleys to wear the belt or you can get a bad shake from a bad spot in the belt.
