where can I find a pullley for the pto on my cub? I have a small one on it and my belt keeps coming off.

TM PARTS or others check the links page on the homepage. or ebay.

thanks I'll check that out. I just bought it, it's a 51 and runs great and mows great as long as the belt doesnt come off. The pulley thats on it is 4".

tman, the fact that the pulley is only 4" does not make the belt come off. This is either due to misalignment or sometime a bad belt, maybe the wrong size but the main reason is misalignment. check your alignment with a straight edge or a string and you will probably fix your problem.

The other question is - what type of mower are you trying to run? The 4" pulley is typical for the Cub 22 sickle bar mower. If you are trying to run a rotary mower with this pulley you will never get it up to speed and it can cause you some alignment problems. As Billy Ray said - look at alignment from the pto to the idlers in both directions and also from the idlers to the driven pulley. Another problem can be broken cords in the belt. Once the cords go or you get a twist or kink in the belt you might as well replace it.

and if it's a woods mower it needs to have two twists in the belt. My belt came off on my woods mower until I tightened the belt adjusters.

Tman:

First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met

Check out the implement manual pages on the server... both the Cub and the OEM pages.. You might also want to check out the Cub Implement Gallery and the Brochure pages at TM Tractor Parts website. Click on the TM link at the bottom of the page...


Ok, so here is the spiel :

I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.


Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These are intended to complement the businesses who support FarmallCub.com Website.

I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.

IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are two must have's in anyone's collection.

In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.

I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family
