Remove the deck and drop the entire idler pulley bracket plate. It makes it ALOT easier. This video made it WAAAAAY harder than it really is.
I agree that the idle pulley should have been removed. THANK YOU for your feedback.
I can't digure out where the smaller springs from the plate go :(
Did that. Still a pain. Hating an engineer at the moment. 🤬🤬🤬
Having trouble with the idler link on my XT2. Thank you so much for this video. You saved me a trip to the shop.
You are welcome and thank you for leaving feedback on this video. I’m glad it was helpful with the idler link on your Cub Cadet XT2.
TYVM I was struggling with the idler link - great vid!
Thank you for your feedback. Glad it helped.
Great video! I really struggled with the idler puller - there is almost no room to get to the nut at the top, but once I loosened the pulley, I was able to get old belt off and new one on.
Thank you so much for this couldn’t have done it without your help
Also saved me from spending hundreds because I also Bent my drive system pulley and got it changed with confundenxe
Thank you for leaving feedback. Glad the video helped and glad your pulley got changed.
After watching this I'm instilled with confidence 💯 wish me luck!
P.s. love how you edited this, not an ounce of fat 👏👏👌
Good luck. As another comment mentioned, removing the mower deck will give you room to work.
@@TryAdaptLearn i think my drive belt is jammed and preventing the engine from turning 🤔 I'm going out to replace it now (needs to be replaced anyway). Hopefully that does it lol if not off to harbor freight to buy a multimeter 👍🤘
it's not that any shoot around to the drive belt
No need to remove the pulley assembly. Just feed the belt over and the idler and with a bit of effort pull the belt through gap between pulley and guard. I pulled battery for access to rear drive, and the deck removed so I could get my head in to see the idler.
This makes a lot of sense. It seems like removing the pulley would be excess for a common maintenance item and there would be easier access to complete the process.
I had to loosen the pulley enough to make a gap.
I'm trying to slide it under the guard and onto the drive pulley, no chance it's gonna fit. There's about a 1/8 of space to fit the belt through and the belt it is 1/2
@@TryAdaptLearn I don't understand why they didn't just put a bolt on belt guide there instead of the "built in" method, then just remove the bolts and slip the belt on easy.... would make belt replacement a 10 minute job.
@@Tanner3D Because they are A holes
Welp, to much trouble for me. I’ll be giving Tommy a call on Monday. I know it’s going to cost me a lil bit but I’ll be stress free though
No matter what you choose, good luck with your belt. It’s easier if you drop the mower deck and then the plate for the pulleys. I haven’t had time to make another video with a more efficient process, but I’ll likely do it the next time I replace one.
I dropped the deck and then I was able to get the belt on the idler pulley by using some elbow grease and muscles. It can be done without removing all that.
Is there a slower version of this video?
Thanks for this but unfortunately the new XT2's have the clutch assembly mounted ontop of the deck pulley/drive pulley. Will try the impact and see if it works.
Good luck. The impact worked in this video but it is a dangerous risk if the deck blades and/or the battery and ignition are connected. If there is a way to hold the engine pulley, a long breaker bar may be a safer option.
I want to see what your routing use of the belt
car seat around or drive built around the pulleys
I need a cedar rounds of the pulleys for the bill to go around for the drive belt
excellent video ..........my only problem is i got the bolt out of the main pulley but can not get it to slide down so i can put the belt on ......
Just a few opinions: If the main pulley is the engine pulley you can try spraying penatrating oil or WD-40 from the top down. It can be wiped off once the bole and pulley come off. If the main pulley is the idler pulley, maybe the bolt can't come down because the nut at the top needs to be removed with a wrench on the bolt and another on the nut. If the nut at the top is off the idler pulley, I would try spraying penatrating oil or WD-40 on the bolt from the top of the pulley and use leverage from a hand tool like a flat head screw driver push the top of the bolt down to get the bolt out.
Another thing I see from looking back at the video is that the belt was installed on and around the second pulley on the idler bracket before the bracket was held in position while installing the bolt (and main pulley) for the idler bracket.
When taking the engine pully off how do you keep the engine from turning??
Once all safety precautions were done (remove key, disconnect battery, disconnect spark plug wires, disconnect deck drive belt, jack stands) I was able to remove the pulley with an impact that could rotate very fast with an extreme amount of torque to remove the fastener holding the pulley before the engine could turn. It's shown at about 40-45 seconds into the video. Without an air or electric impact, I do not know how I would have done it. My best guess is that I would have tried to use something to hold the pulley itself without damaging it.
Fit my 46" 24 up craftsman
Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting that the drive belt will fit a craftsman. It would help if they printed the specs each belt on the packaging in addition to the part number.
This is a nightmare to do. The engineer that designed it needs to go back to school. Actually they need to go work on the machine the re engineer it so it's easier to do.
It can also be easier removing the deck and then plate then the idler pulleys. I haven’t had time to make a follow up video b. This was my first try, but I will definitely do so the next time the belt needs to be changed.
@@TryAdaptLearn I ended up removing the pulley mount plate and still cussed attempting to put it back together. Was a complete pain.
Wha u talking bout ‘ Willis?
CAB Cadet 2014
The mower in this video is a CubCadet XT1, I believe the year is 2018. Thank you for leaving feedback.
Having a difficult time getting the new belt in the tight spot by the pullies in the middle. Any recommendations?
The best thing is to try to start with those pulleys first and disassemble them. Worst case scenario you can try pushing the new belt in past the guard but had to be careful damage it when squeezing it in.
I took off the whole skid plate and all of the connections and springs fell off what do I do?
The whole plate is actually easier and likely the best way. Everything can be disassembled and reassembled on the plate. It should be safer while working with the springs. You just need someone to hold the plate, if not a jack stand or something solid to hold it while you reinstall the fasteners.
I 'm new to this. Why the belt looks so lose? Is that ok?
It could be the camera angle. The drive belt from the engine to the hydrostatic drive it tight until the engine pulley is off. The deck belt from the engine pulley to the deck may look loose on this model. The deck belt/pto is manually engaged with a lever on this model. If it were an electric pto, the belt may appear to be tight on the pulley.
I wish I had watched this video sooner but it's too late and I need help putting in the pulley and the sprints I took out. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
This video did not include two helpful things. 1. Remove the deck. 2. Drop the panel that the pulleys are installed on. The fasteners are on the sides of the panel (and sides of the frame). It drops down with the pulleys and can be reinstalled with the pulleys. Reinstalling it will help with another person but can be done with one person. Dropping the panel minimizes the need to pull the springs back so it’s also safer.
@@TryAdaptLearn will do thanks bro
This is way harder than it needs to be. There is no need to remove pulleys or cut the belt.
Simply remove the deck and then you can remove the old belt and install the new belt easily.
Agreed. It would be easier to leave the pulleys. A compromise for leaving the pulleys is that there is no access from the top. The belt has to be installed from the front or back. The biggest challenge would be that the belt is a tight fit in a tight spot because on one side there is a the metal belt guard/guide that the belt has to be squeezed into. Other than that it would be easier then the process recorded in this video.
@@TryAdaptLearn I'm having trouble getting the belt through this tight spot. Any recommendations?
Loosen the idler pully bolt enough to raise the pulley enough to get the belt past the guide. Then retighten the bolt.
How much should it cost to put a drive belt back on, was told $ 40, I thought great, but after it was put back on it cost $80
Pshhhh yeah fuck that I'm taking it to the shop 😂
Bloody cub cadet. Nothing but problems.
The belt has just come off the transmission pulley and I've been at it for an hour trying to get it back on. No access to get screwdrivers in there or anything even with the battery out. Down the paddock in the hot sun. Every time I use this mower something breaks.
What size belt was this?
Thank you for the question. Unfortunately the replacement belt don't have the specs including the dimensions for the drive belt used in this video was 954-05027B, it has been added to the description. The belt may be different for different models and/or models with different engine sizes.
@@TryAdaptLearn that's the one I ordered for my craftsman t7800, fit mint. Thank you, video helped getting it running again
I'm sure you are providing good info, but it's way too fast to try to follow AND understand what, why, how you are doing what you are doing.
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it and will try to make future videos a better (slower) pace to make them more helpful.
Why did you have to replace your belt?
Before recording the video, the drive belt broke.
If you don't own night vision goggles this video is useless
Thank you for your feedback, I think that you are the first person who was unable to see the parts of the machine in this video without night vision. We apologize that this video is useless to you. We'll try to add more lighting to future videos to increase visibility.
Too dark
Thank you for the feedback, we'll work on the lighting in future videos.
What the heck
To dark to see
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the poor lighting. We’ll try to keep this in mid to make future videos better.
Let someone else do it, if you have the money.
Dark...can't see anything
Use ur imagination
Remove engine bolts.
I don’t know if engine bolts would help but definitely removing the deck then the bolts for the plate that the pulleys are installed on will help
Can it be shifted back enough?
Yes
Remove all 4 bolts engine will shift back enough in order for you to drop belt. Must also drop deck do t forget
@@user-ou6km2os9q I did this last weekend and the engine will not go back far enough to get the belt around the pulley. I dismounted the entire engine, jacked it up off the frame high enough so I could feed the belt up through the frame hole under the engine. Then I put all the bolts back in. Start with the two small bolts on the side mounted plate, that helps you to center the engine for the bottom bolts/screws. That two pulley plate is a real bear to deal with. I didn't take the plate off. I took the screws out and pulled it down just enough to un-bolt the bolt on one of the pulleys so I could raise it up and get enough room to slide the belt over it. This whole thing took me 3 hours. I DO NOT want to ever do that again!
I can't bear you saying idler anymore. Bye.
this has to be the worst video instruction ever made. How can you watch this video with its skiddish video jerking every few seconds. Here's an idea - take the video and let the user speed it up at their discretion.
Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot since you think it the worst video instruction ever made but still took the time to share your opinion. Although we may not agree on our ideas, it is appreciated that you included a suggestion. We'll keep trying to improve the video quality in the future.
Here’s an idea - take a chill pill and keep your mouth shut. At least he took the time to create this video with the intention of helping others. If you’re so fuckin smart than maybe you should create a video showing your process.
is the pulley bolt turned clockwise or counterclockwise if you are in the front of the mower looking towards the back
I need pictures of where the springs attach to.
All I have to say is Eff Cub Cadet. Seriously?! They've been making tractors for a gazillion years and still can't devise an easier way to replace something that most certainly is going to fail 🖕🏼🚜
