- Here's a video on how to ACTUALLY install a drive belt on a cub cadet riding lawn mower. I used an MTD belt and it worked just fine; probably wouldnt have worked for my Kubota riding lawn mower but oh well...

I tried it your way, but I took the deck off so it was easier to lift up (not as big as you), and it worked for me. I appreciate you doing this video
I've been watching your channel faithfully for about two years now, mainly for the religious and preparedness content. I just happened to be googling how to replace my drive belt and this video popped up. Which was awesome. Thanks Bear!
My drive pulley would not come off either. I heated the pulley body up and tried a gear puller. Didn't work. One other guy suggested removing the four engine bolts and lifting up. I have not tried that. I couldn't see how all the attached components like the exhaust system would handle the movement. I will try bending the tabs next. i didn't have the slotted washer for the 5/8" bolt so I put a breaker bar with a socket on the top of the motor to stop the shaft from moving, worked good.
I can't get the bolt off that plastic fan at the rear of the mower. I will keep watching, THANKS!
For what it’s worth, I’ve found it’s much easier to drop the deck before you lift the mower up to get underneath.
Your video is exactly what I needed! My belt jumped off and with your explanation I was able to get her up and Running again! Thanks so much, had a blast mowing the lawn!
I just did it and it worked! The clutch bolt came off with a little effort. We were pushing up the guards for the pulley when I decided to try to pull the pulley out. It came right out! And this is an old machine. Great video
Good video. Straightforward, to the point, no wasted motion (other than the clutch washer). Going to replace both belts in the morning. Glad I watched. Thanks!
Thanks for being real. And honest. My drive belt is about ready to go... It is a 2006 LT1050 model. Good stuff.
I have channel locks with a button too. I love them. They never change size on you.
This video works for Craftsman PYT 9000 mowers as well. Thank you so much for this video. 3 days of struggle until I found your video and got the belt replaced. You da real MVP!
Thank you for a real video for those of us that don't have new mowers! It helped so much more then other videos on here.
thanks for this vid - I have an LT1045. I saw a few and thought “ok it aint bad, I think i can do it”. then i see your vid and how you positioned it to get it fixed....no thanks, I have better things to do with my time lmao - your honesty is greatly appreciated. I’ll have a local shop come pick it up and drop off when it’s done.
This was super helpful. I watched several videos on how to get that 5/8” loose and then I tried tipping the mower up and gripping that plate while smashing a socket wrench to break it loose. I was about ready to give up. You saved my weekend! Thank you.
Next time try this, pull the spark plug feed in cotton rope 1/4” until ya can’t feed more, the piston jams on the rope allowing easy removal, do leave the rope in to tighten, your welcome, hehe also this works with ANY engine
This was very helpful. Getting the mower ready for duty and found a spent drive belt. Many thanks.
I removed the mower deck & put the mower on some car ramps so could get under it. An impact wrench or a normal box end wrench struck with a hammer will loosen the pulley bolt so it can be removed. There's no need to remove the pulley or bend the tabs. Remove (4) engine mount bolts & lift the engine up with a hydraulic bottle jack placed under the pulley shaft. Place the belt around the rear pulley first & slide the belt right over the front drive pulley - don't thread around the tension pulley yet. Drop the engine back down & reinstall bolts. Pry tension pulley over & slip belt around the pulley. Replace the mowing deck & off you go.
Found if you put mower back down without deck on, remove the four engine block bolts put front right of engine on 2x4 block. Run belt from trans to front then push belt up through frame on to pulley and temove block. Bolt black back in. No need to bend tabs
Yup. Unbolting the motor so you can flop it around as needed is the answer. If you do that you don’t have to take the pto off (ya do still have to unplug its wires to get new belt around em). Taking the mow deck completely off makes it a LOT easier. And leave the double nuts for front of mow dek alone unless your adjusting them for a reason.
Takes me about an hour.
Really enjoyed your down to earth explanations. Admitting your screw ups was comforting because as we all know, we all make them. Thanks
Well done! My belt went on super easy thanks to this video! Much appreciated.
This video saved me some serious money. Considering the local mower service place starts @ 50$ an hour. Again thank a lot brother.
Hey Bear, your video is much appreciated. I did it as shown and it worked perfect. Thanks much for the common guy approach. Cheers from Wisconsin .
From joe Mccuskey to the bear this video was a really helpful I was fortunate that the drive pulley did fall free after removing the p.t.o. when I put it back together I'm going to use a little anti seize on the shaft. Thanks for your help
Good video. Shows a realistic repair of this mower. Thanks
Great video I'll be doing the job as soon as the belt comes in and while I'm under there I'll be replacing the steer shaft bearing
From an old wrench: Good job! Keep em coming.
Great video, my pulley will now move. I like the standing one end part. 👍
Awesome Video all the things you described I have been running to! Thanks!!!
just worked on my grandads 1517 had he same issues you did he had the original belt on the mower it made it 22 years lmao and looked horrible so i intend to replace it and the steering parts. this video made me feel like less of a jackass and gave me some pointers for tomorrow so thank you.
Good video! Going to change mine now
Really looking forward to this job...yeah right!
Thanks for ur video. Very informative and articulate.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. IT REALLY HELPED.
I tipped my LT1050 on its back end. Next morning found acid and water had drained out from one of the battery cell covers. Have neutralized with baking soda; will carefully clean up with bucket of water and baking soda (and rubber gloves) when ready to set mower back down.
Needed air tool to remove crankshaft bolt. Could not get good enough grip on flats to stabilize PTO.
Looks like I will also have to bend the tabs to install belt. Puller was not sufficient.
All said, this was probably best youtube on the topic (so far) but recommend removing the battery first.
Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing!!
Good Video, but i wanted to see you get that PTO off the motor shaft... and how you got it back on. Mine was "welded-on", had to use a puller, but cant seem to get new one back on.
Thanks. This was alot of help.
Guns, god and lawn mowers. Got to love bear
I love Tactical Tractor Tuesday! Saw a kid remove 4 engine bolts, tip engine and slip belt on clutch drive after already threading the other pulley's. Seemed a good way to do it with the deck off. Your way works. If it works, don't fix it. :)
That's exactly the way I have done it 3 times already.
Sometimes you gotta do what takes to get it done ! Good video!
well done.
thanks for the help. I watched that other "how to" also, yours was honest. Appreciate it. Subscribe. watched a few of your vids before as recommended by Viking preparedness.
That 5/8 bolt was a B*******........i found an easy way for me anyway.....i used an electric impact and it came right off......my pully wouldn't come off either so i could slide the belt on......those three tabs bend out pretty easy.....then i just bent them back.
Thank you very much for the video.......i was totally lost until i watched it.
I have a cub cadet LTX 1040 automatic I just took out the 4 bolts that hold the engine to the frame and tilted the engine left and right to slip on belt.
Pro Tip : Love that . Thanks
If you run for president you have my vote. We need a man like you to save this country.
Awesome vid. About to tackle it right now. Go Texas!
Brother Bear, remind me to talk to you about this video when I see you again. 👍👍👍
Cool vid.... Very informative
Good work
Orm!!
Good job. I have an LT1554 and the procedure is the same. I've had the mower 15 years now. I am getting ready to replace the belt for the third time. I've had to bend the ears back from the engine pulley to get the belt on and then bend them back each time I have done this. I've never had any issues doing that. No way that pulley is coming off. So of those other videos are a joke.
I found the washer after I got the clutch back on. I wasn't sure where it went but looks like I guessed right!
Unfortunately a riding mower is a necessary evil on an acreage. I've spent too much time this summer working on mine and it needs fixing again! If it isn't one thing it's another. Lol have a great week.
This video was helpful. A couple of things I might add. I put 6" blocks under the front wheels to raise the tractor to gain access to the clutch bolt.
I used an air impact wrench with 5/8" socket on the bolt and it came right off with no trouble.
I had the most trouble trying to get the electrical connection apart. I had to pretty much tear it apart as there was some corrosion and wouldn't pull apart.
I didn't even bother trying to get the pulley wheel off, instead I used a needle nose type vice wrench to bend back the three metal tabs and forced the belt in.
Job worked out great and I actually had the belt but was putting if off for a long time because the job looked like a PITA....:)
Obviously, I had to bite the bullet and get it done today.
Thanks for all the info.
Loved ur video it was funny how u explained it an an had the mower up on end🤣 an definitely recommend ur skills
Love those Makita quick sockets I’ve got a set in everyone of my guys trucks
You’re the only one that I could find that actually had an LT 1050 like me old-school baby
Thanks you have the old lt1050 like i have 2003 model
good video!
Hey good to see you working a little
Lololo
Take care and your right it’s not a tractor, just a lawn mower
I have the same mower and noticed my belt has pieces missing. I'll be changing it soon and hopefully remember that washer.
Great video bear. Which one is the tensioner pulley?
I found it easier to remove the 4 engine bolts.the engine hole is egg shaped to slide the engine
What a surprise to find this gem in the archives, TJ. Such a departure from the current videos but information I truly needed today. Spring has sprung around my neck of the woods. Thanks for saving me time to figure out this unexpected repair on my lunch break amigo.
Shalom
Well. My first project of spring looks like it’s gonna be a real hootenanny!
cool to see your beginning videos. I wonder what the Bear in this video would say to the Bear doing daily intel briefs.
I have the breaker bar and the socket to remove clutch but I don't have that second tool. lol
I have the same mower, just bought a belt for it. I have a spare transmission for it. Been a decent mower for the abuse it takes
I must be I the only person in the world with a 1180 and no videos to help 😕but like your video man keep it up
Really clear Warts and all when he forgot the spacer!
Should the engine oil be drained prior to lifting the mower?
Do tell how that pulley was "pressed on the shaft" and wire connector was removed before clutch was removed and you cant reconnect if after clutch was installed? How does that work.?
Instead of hacking and cob jobbing it, you could just take out the 4 bolts that hold the engine down, rock it back and slip the belt around the pulley.....
There is one of you in every comments section. 😐
@@rockomagistri you mean the guys who would rather do it right, and easier, instead of screwing the job up??
drive belt ? oh ........yes! watching the the drive belt
Maybe when taking off parts that you may not pay attention to how they go back on take pictures with phone.
Holy crap that’s alotta shit to go thru. But mines gettin ready to pop soooooo Nice Video Dude!!👍🏻😎💪🏻
Also, too bad Cub Cadet / MTD did not design with movable belt guide/retainer. Maybe a slotted bracket; loosen nut, slide angle bracket, what could be easier.
Lol. I'll still forget the washer.
it's really ok to stand the mower upright?
Thanks for the step by step. It’s either try it on my own, or pay tracantic atltor $400 to do it for me.
BEAR!! HELP! Cub Cadet LT1022 Engine Pulley will not come off. I can not find any good info that helps.
So.... does anyone know how to get that damn pulley off? I’m pretty sure I gotta replace that seal behind it.
Belt size long
did i miss the part where you took the drive pulley off ,, i saw the clutch come off but i watched to see the drive belt pulley changed or pulled off to get it off ,,, i have beat the piss out of that pulley and it still wont come off ,,i hate to use heat because ill ruin my seal ...now my pulley has to come off before i can get a belt on it ,,,but its beat to hell wont have it ,, so ill look for another video to see how they took theirs off ....i got it sitting in pb blaster and will try it when my new belt get here....cub cadet in my opinion is the worst machine you can get ,,i bought this thing thinking i got a good deal ,,ive replaced everything i can on it ,,could have bought a new one ,,,ive owned maybe 4 cubs that i got in trades ,, each one of them was a total sack of $hit...
👍🏼
YOU NEED A DRINK HOLDER ON IT. 1 MADE FOR A BOAT THAT SWINGS. GOOD JOB BROTHER. PEACE OUT.😎😎🍀🍀🍀🌈🌈🌈♠♠💑💑💑
Easier to unbolt the motor. Not knockin your way, everybody has their own way
Well I got the first tool, but the second I’m lacking
You're video was much easier to understand! That was not an "easy" repair.
Just watched the U DONT NEED TO DROP THE DECK JUST TURN THIS NUT video. Yours is way more helpful. Those little tabs are a BITCH surrounding the belt under the motor
I use an impact , much easier
The drive pulley isn't pressed on.. it's just seized with rust. Gotta pull the engine and heat it with a torch to get it off.
That was a Grade 5 bolt, not Grade 8.
Cub cadet breaks belt
