I am having the same problem, and I don't know the answer. Logically, the belt was threaded incorrectly, one of the spindles is not turning easily, or a gremlin is on the loose. In any case, I need to get another belt. This last one lasted only ten minutes or so. :-(
Check for lose bolts on spindle mounts , all bearings , bent pulleys, rope or other debris around shafts or it could be low grade belts.
Hope this helps.
deck belt replacment for a 1998 cubcadet 1525
No the drive belt and Deck belt are two different belts, one powers the rear wheels, the other powers the deck. though if you are asking if they are the same belt as in same size, I don't know, you'll have to check your owners manual or talk to someone who repairs or can get parts for Cub Cadet mowers.
what model and which belt? If it is a 1000 series you have a transmission drive belt and a deck belt. I you have a 2000 series or higher or a cub cadet with an IH logo then you only have one belt the deck belt and no drive belt you have a drive shaft. So the model of the tractor and what belt needs to be given before the correct answer can be given.Phil
The drive belt on a Cub Cadet LX1040 is adjusted by turning a small bolt on the side of the cutting deck. It loosens or tightens the belt depending on the direction it is turned.
The Cub Cadet LTX 1040 typically has two belts: the drive belt and the mower deck belt. The drive belt connects the engine to the transaxle, while the mower deck belt drives the blades. Always consult the owner's manual for specific details and maintenance guidelines.
It's right on the deck
The 3000 Series Cub Cadet supposedly have no belts, not transmission belt nor deck belts.
