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

    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!

    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

    Whenever I watch a CZcams 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!

    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.

    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.

    I just wanted you to know you saved me. Number one ordering the belt two times I received the wrong size going to I won't mention the name of the stores but when I put your video on bingo online got it through Amazon looked for the numbers on the back of the seat Great job. Number two I couldn't get the new belt on watch your video loosened up the pulley the bottom nut under the carriage or I should say under the deck tilted the pulley got the belt on that one stubborn pulley behind the guide tightened everything back up and off I went you really do a splendid detail job thank you.

    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!

      Also thanks for making the video! My girlfriend was mowing the lawn and my belt came off. Mower is only a few years old with like 120 hours on it. I bought a new belt but I didn’t see any reason why it should have came off. So weird how loose mower belts are when the blades aren’t on

      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.
