Cub Cadel 1238 Drive Belt Installation

Postby rhogan1953 » Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:49 am

How do you get the lower drive belt over the pulley that drives the rear wheels...it seems like there is little or no room to slide that belt up and over the pulley..any ideas..thanks

I don't know what a 1238 but it must be a newer lawn tractor and you may have to loosen the pins that keep the belt from staying engaged and you have to put the clutch pulley in last. This s for most any lawntractor.

does the large pulley which drives the rear wheels have to be removed to get the new belt installed?

If the pulley has 3 bolts I have taken out 2 and loosened the other to get belts on. Don't take out all three as you can't hold everything to get 1 bolt started(BTDT)
