I was watching your video, I picked up this mower cheap and needed to replace most of the springs and belt, your video helped showed the location and how to install new-belt, and springs which I have. Great job on video I followed it completely worked like a charm. now good to go! thank you very much:)
I was looking for a video showing the removal of the spring and engaging cable.... Thanks, it looks like I can do that...Good video...I have the Cub Cadet LTX 1042, same set up...
Do you have a video on how to lubricate pto "pivot? Pto handle would not move and disconnected cable & spring from pulley bracket and handle moves cable freely. Seems to be friction at bracket pivot through deck. Thanks for help in getting this lubricated.
At 11:00 minutes you show the 'L' bracket' under the idler pulley, being mounted on top of the main mounting bracket. It should be underneath that mount being held by the bolt that holds everything together. the short side of the 'L' should be touching the deck.
Thanks for the video, is there any adjustments to make the belt a little tighter ? I just replaced the same belt with the correct part number ,it's flopping more than it should ,
3 screws on each deck belt cover as grass will push the cover up that gets caught under them . The new cub cadest at least have the new covers that don't allow that to happen They are metal and have openings to allow grass to be pushed out . I am having problems with the belt coming off and the screws to the belt holders keep coming down and rubbing on the pulleys . I ordered the new covers for my 2016 cub cadet hydrostatic since the screw holes match it . I am hoping that will solve the problem of the belt coming off while mowing . I also had to level the deck side to side
Are the covers just to keep the user from stepping or knocking something into the pulleys and damaging them? Half tempted just to keep mine off. I get the grass build up as well.
@@beerleagueeverything8030 if you take the covers off the belt keeps coming off . I tried it and belt kept coming off , The metal posts in the covers hold the belt . I hate the plastic covers as they just hold grass that is hard to get out . But found out not as much grass got stuck under the covers when I changed to gator blades and cleaned the underside of my deck and applied slip plate graphite to keep grass from sticking to the underside
@@beerleagueeverything8030 your welcome and plus I ruined 1 belt by taking the covers off . So glad I could help . Try slip plate graphite under you take I have been a fan of it since my son who owns a towing company uses it on his flatbed tow trucks . It is a little expensive for a quart but 1 quart will do 2 lawnmowers and lasts for years and that is doing 3 coats and still some left over so did mny push mower and still sme left . I got my can on e bay
I had an extra spring when I reinstalled my deck. 😂
Thanks to your video I figured out where it went!

hi, before working on your machine, wouldn't you like to clean it instead of working in dirt, because it would be much better
You absolutely can clean it / wash it but then you getting nasty water all over ya little dirt never hurt ya
Why is there no tension on the belt?
Your your attention comes when you actually activate the blades while you're riding that's what pushing that lever forward does
ltx1042 I replaced the idler pulleys with new ones, and after tightening them, they are not loosely spinning, is that normal?
What clip did you use in place of the bowtie clip?
Hair pin cotter key looks like a R
Show me how to tighten the belt
We have Mulch Plug that may fit your lawn tractor. We can provide for free. Do you need?
Belt keeps jumping off

What size built isn't because there's no way in hell the 42-inch that I got reaches. It looks like it should be 60 to 80.
Ya, I bought the belt for a 1040 ltx but it's too small or I'm not doing something right.
@@nathananthony2552the 42" measurement is the size of the deck. Ltx1040 takes a 96" belt I believe
Dam. I said. ,46 in not a 42. Dam you tube
A lot of skipping
It's not a how to clean the deck because we don't want to get dirty its to show you how to save a cuple hundred at ur local rip off shop
try cleaning the grass off
Try not being a douche
