I’m in the midst of doing that same job when I get home today and I will be cutting those tabs off with a grinding wheel a cut off wheel along with every other tab on the mower
Im hoping you still check the comments on this. My Cub Cadet LT1046 broke my first drive belt, and I don't have a clue. I saw this video and I'm thinkin'...do you mean by taking the 4 engine bolts out and prying up on the engine, you can alleviate pulling the large nut off? That freeing the engine, then prying up on it, will give you the room to get the belt on the pulley? Please tell it's true, as with inflation cutting into my SS and savings, I can't afford to hire someone to fix it for me! TYIA!
SO SORRY for the delay, didn't know folks had commented. Hope you worked it out. This is mostly a tip for getting the belt onto a seized drive pully w/o messing with the retention tabs.
Thank you!
I thought I was crazy to think I had to raise the engine for a simple belt change.
Thank you!
I put a pipe wrench on the shaft and move it until it hits the tire to hold it. Worked great
Thanks, I'll have to try that!
