Cub Cadet belt

Russ from MN · Jun 28, 2014

SWMBO blew the belt off the cub recently, it's the
long one (B108) that runs from the engine down
around two idlers and back to the deck. Should I buy
an expensive green one or will a regular black belt
do the job?

I have seen many with just the black belt. No more than some get used. It should be good enough.

I found that on my Cub Cadet that anything other than the IH belt would jump off the pulleys. The IH belt seems to have a deeper V

I put the expensive green on my Huskey and it went. I put a regular black on and it's about the same.
What makes it so hard on my belts is the sharp idler bends it has to deal with.

I have never had trouble with Cub Cadet belts I bought the tractor used with a 42" mower deck a 42" snow blower and a 3 pt. hitch 36" roto tiller. In ten yrs. I have only replaced the mower deck belt once. I have an old Ariens snow blower I tried all kinds of belts on it and none lasted even a season untill I went to a Ariens dealer and got the correct belt it has lasted 5 yrs so far.

Have replaced all the belts on a cub cadet 1863 with gates without any problems what so ever. I getting them from the industrial supplier that calls on the mill, gates hy-power I believe. At 1/3 the cost. Use them on the stump grinder and 515 sickle bar as well.
