Cub Cadet LTX1050 (Bad Idler Pulley) and Spring tip trick!
Cub cadet Idler pulley replacement. Tips n Tricks along the way... Another one of those Great Ideas from KC. This time its on the farm. I couldn't pass up taking ...
Nice trick with the spring, baling wire and hammer. Those springs can fly
out and get you, so you might want to protect your eyes. What's an eye
worth compared to taking 2 seconds to put on a pair of safety glasses?
Hey Joe. Great video. Question. At the 1:31 minute mark of the video you
see a little yellow bracket on top of one the pulley's. What is that and
where does it go when you put things back together?
+tscpbm This comment is exactly why I do these videos. Thank you for the kind words and I'm very happy I could help. Now show that grass who's boss! ;)
+BigJoe Kasulis™ Hey Big Joe. Thanks for the reply. Your video saved me. I had the bolt that holds the pulley right next to the idler pulley break and thanks to your video, I was able to replace the bolt and put the pulley back on. It's all back together now and cutting grass like there's no tomorrow. Thanks again. Bill Oczak....
+O CZAKWC Thank You! O. That is the belt guide for the second pulley 3:04-3:27 it can be seen in the location near the first pulley it goes under the second and close to the same direction shown. Ours had a grass stain outline on the metal where it was and I only put it back where I found it. :)
You never showed how you removed the spring in the first place? Assuming we
need to remove the pulley on that side to get the tension off the spring to
remove it from the bolt?
+Cynthia Ritchie When I removed the bolt is when it released. I apologize. I'm just a "dude"... I tried to think of everything. ;) Thanks for bring that up hopefully you were able to figure it all out safely.
Back to mowing season. Another thing I noticed is the manual seems to show
the belt going on over the tensioner bracket /spring when it should (I
think) go under. That's how it appears in your video.
Video seems right. In Google+ I posted a pic of manual and there it looks like the belt goes over. Going under makes more sense. Otherwise it's rubbing constantly.
+D McC In the video I started putting things back together wrong. I reset and continued like nothing happen. the final shots of the belt configuration are correct. I did have to rerun that differently then how i showed in the video before the 3 min mark. After the 3min mark everything should be correct? lol
