Brian, this happened to our 46” CC zero turn mower today! Your video is great. Looked underneath & this belt was off (hanging loose) & the mower just stopped…wouldn’t go forward or backward. I’m a 66yo gal who loves this mower, but when something goes wrong, I turn to UA-cam! Thanks again!
Thanks! My ZTS2 50 threw the drive belt. Was bummin about clutch removal. The mower dumped the belt pretty far away, so it has to be a yard fix. The belt Looked kind of burnt up. I was towing a 400 Lb water filled aerator at the Time, so No Foul! Anyway looked like a light duty belt.. and boy are they expensive from the dealer! Finally cracked the part number and did a search on Amazon.. found a kevlar drive belt for $29, looks better than stock for a third the price. Deck belts are like $100 from Cub Cadet.. better get one in advance. Be sure to get the CC part number for your actual model belt and cross that. Thanks again!
@@jasonski77horne50 there is a 45 degree slot the spring fits in you can use a piece of wire wrapped around the end and pull or if you have a exhaust spring tool to pull it on
My belt came off. Less than 40 hours new mower. Cub Cadet zt1 50. I cannot find the drive belt diagram ANYWHERE, even the manual is confusing. I'm pretty good at fixing things when I have clear instructions. I can for the deck belt but not the drive belt. I can't find any video that shows the diagram or how it goes. When I put the spring back on, the belt is still loose! I cannot figure this out! Any suggestions? Thanks.
@@bamagym I couldn’t get camera in position to do any good, either spring is in wrong position or belt not routed properly, I had to scratch my head a couple of minutes myself, keep trying did you get a new belt? 1/2x69.125
@@brianb3382 Well, it's practically a new mower, less than 40 hours. No I did not get a new belt. I did put the belt in the pully behind the guide but there is soooo much slack. That's why I'm looking for the belt diagram. I cannot find one, anywhere. Guess I will have to go Tractor Supply or somewhere to get underneath one to look. Thanks for the reply.
@@sabersaw So what I ended up doing was drive an hour to Home Depot and got on the ground and looked under the back of the type of Cub Cadet that I had. I could see the way it went and was able to fix it. Yeah, it's frustrating. I have no idea what happened.
Hey I've got an issue with the drive pulley that sits above the PTO clutch. What is it called? My clutch locked up and sheered the bolt that holds the clutch in place up into that pulley.
@@brianb3382 proper name.. engine drive pulley. My issue remains sheered off inside the actual drive shaft itself. Well all that's left is to drill and tap.
@@brianb3382 yea I got the spring right and the serpentine the correct pattern. The idler pulley has too much sway in it. I think it’s worn out from abuse maybe. I use my Cub commercially. This weekend I used two washer to help tighten the braker in a singular position just so I got some tension. It’ll climb into my trailer now but won’t respond on a dime

@@markhall3434 glad to hear you’re fixed up now 😁
so to put the belt on i just need to put the belt on the garage floor then blink and i’ll be putting the spring on haha
Yup , I couldn’t film with one hand and put belt on with the other. I said it was bad camera work.Sorry
@@brianb3382don’t apologize this was still helpful
Helps to have a sense of humor!
So how did you get the belt over the deck belt and pulley?
Brian, GRAT VIDEO! Worked like a CHARM!!!!
Big help. Thanks. Couldn't find anything in the manual or online.
Glad it helped
i wish you had shown how to put the spring back on, my drive belt fell off track and i cant see where to reconnect the tension spring
@@jasonski77horne50 there is a 45 degree slot the spring fits in you can use a piece of wire wrapped around the end and pull or if you have a exhaust spring tool to pull it on
Me too
Nice GS!
Brilliant. Thank you very much.
I watched to see if you lifted the rear or front of mower. Did you do this with mower in normal position, on the ground?

I can find the deck belt diagram in millions of places it seems but not the drive belt diagram.

Hey man after removing that screw on the clutch bracket, the screw seems to small now and bracket is lose. Suggestions?
Did you over tighten? Try to bend prongs back
You could drill out and put a nut and bolt through it
@@brianb3382 i was putting the screw through the wrong side. Appreciate the fast response! Earned a subscriber!

Not sure of proper name you’ll have to check a parts breakdown, illustration

My belt is very loose when I put the tension spring on. I checked the routing. Any idea why?
The only thing I can think of is proper belt size ?? 1/2 x 69.125
You did not show how to put the belt on. the belt pattern.
I know sorry I just couldn’t get the camera in a spot to see it properly
Where did you get that belt and what size is it?
Got belt at my local cub dealership 1/2x69.125
