This is a video on how I replaced my drive belt (transmission drive) on my Cub Cadet lawnmower. My Cub is a model 1527 but I am sure it is very similar to the other Cub Cadet models.
The engine drive pulley should slide down the shaft easily, This will eliminate the need for bending the tabs that keep the belt on the pulley once it is replaced.
Thanks for the video Paul. Being a women that is 65 years old I probably can't do this. Although I know I could of 20 years ago. I just wanted to know what it took to get ER done. Also being a women I try to learn as much as I can about the problem I am having before taking it into the shop so They don't try to pull the wool over my eyes and cost me more! At least if I know a little something about it they might think twice to try to charge me more then they should. Thanks again for the demo!
Bought a used ltx1050 an am getting a education on wornout oullys. only had the 2 tensioner pullys on the driive belt system. missing the 3rd idler pully,somehow it worked .Belt jumped off, need the third vidlerpully.Goin shopping .Yhanks 6 da vid,saved me time.
I watched several videos before finding this. You explain it the best of all the other videos I have seen. So you are the only one who gets a like from me. Thanks.
Ughhh took me 40min.electric Impact gun on the clutch bolt saved me from turning over motor with regular wrench. Tipped tractor over and gas spilled out one way and the other way oil poured out of the valve cover . What a pain in the ass to put the spring back on the the tension pully. Wasn’t a horrible job but it saved me a few hundred dollars. CZcams mechanic ftw thanks
Thanks this video helped me replace my drive belt on my 2006 Series 1500 Cub C. A tip I would add is to take off one of the front wheels. They are just held on with a cotter pin, easy to take off and then this gives better access to the clutch and belt area.
Hi there, I have a 1554 cub cadet and I wanted to thank you for your video. Like most it just stopped going one day. I went to CZcams and saw your post. I'm a 52 year old woman and although I'm pretty handy, I never thought I would be able to do this. It took me about 5 hrs, I also sharpened the blades and cleaned the mow deck. Thanks again for a great explanation!
I just did this yesterday on my LTX1050. After removing the deck I jacked up one side of the mower and secured it with tie down straps to the rafters of the garage. That worked great. I didn't have to hang the clutch by a spring. I disconnected the cable pig tail connector then remove the bolt and pulled the clutch off of the drive. With my mower I didn't have to bend the tabs that are around the drive pulley because the pulley slides right off once you loosen the belt.
I changed my Drive Belt on my Cub Cadet Your Video with step by step instructions was greatly helpful. My sound on my computer doesnt work but was still able to follow the video, Thanks for your help
Totally useless. How do you connect the tension spring back? You just skipped it.

I turned the bolt holding the clutch on and the the pulley just turns and the bolt isn't coming out

Thanks....lots of good info....only I won't be tilting the mower on it's side. It doesn't look like too bad of a job working from underneath...

Paul, I got it done. Thanks for this video and for the additional comment on how to get the clutch off.
This is the BEST and most useful video on this (that I've found thus far).

Thank You for taking the time and effort to put this video on! My brother's belt broke and we didn't know where to start.
