Thanks, Chris. I "think" the idler pulley was solid, but the next time I'm under there, I'll check it. Haven't cribbed the mower back up yet. I do know that the right side is missing a few fan blades.............and the left side may also.........not sure. Haven't looked at any videos on how...

Is there some kind of bolt on the Cub Cadet that's supposed to keep the belt from jumping off the drive pully ? I thought I heard reference to something like that on one of the videos I watched trying to figure out how to fix this problem and now I can't find it again. Am I nuts or is there a...

Oops! Celebrated too quickly, I think. I just mowed for an hour and just as I was finishing up, the belt came off again. That's puzzling !!! Didn't hit a large stick, tree stump or anything like that. It was on very smooth ground when it happened. Any thoughts from the gallery ??? Guess...

Well, it's a done deal. Finished and just mowed my yard. Don't own an impact wrench, but I was able to get the nut off the bottom of the transmission using a "cheater" on my 8" ratchet wrench. Wasn't a difficult job at all.............just didn't really know what I was doing and really hate...

Continuation: Mower is up and I find the belt is intact but off the right side pully. Getting ready to drop the transmission and have pulled the motor shroud off but can't figure out how to get the plastic cover off the flywheel ????? I need to get a wrench on the top nut to unscrew the nut...

No, I'm up on that. But thanks for mentioning it. That was the first thing I checked when I jumped off the mower when it stopped rolling.

Yes, I have that video saved to my desktop for when the weather smiles upon me. :ROFLMAO: But thanks for sending it.

Don't know. Will just have to wait for dry weather and crawl under it and see what's going on. But thanks for the tip.

Thanks for that info, HoustonDave. I got the rear end up in the air on two tire rims and pulled the floor jack out of the way. I crawled under just to see what there was to see and I saw what I saw...................whatever that means !!! ;) I was able to reach the belt and it seems a tad...

Yes, I know the shaft can't be allowed to turn. I can handle that. I have two 13" rims from my trailer that will work nicely, I think, to keep the back end up. Just don't know if that will be high enough......................but guess I'll find out now won't I ??? I'm in the gym three days a...

Thanks. That parts diagram isn't going to be much help is it ??? I've replaced the deck belt before............and also at a later date, the spindles. I'm 80 years old and getting to where getting down on the ground like I'll need to do is difficult. But so is coming up with the funds to...

I've got my seat covered with a Black garbage bag because our property is so dusty. Keeping the seat clean enough to sit on. ;) So that's why I didn't notice the serial number under there. Any way.................the SER # is 17AFCACP056. Don't know if that is a 0 or an O.

Thanks, I'll look there.

Sorry I'm just now getting back to this. Had Dr.s appts all day. The only thing I found under the seat was RZT 50............and a plate showing model numbers for things like spark plugs, grass catchers, etc., etc., etc. But couldn't find anything looking like a serial number. Couldn't...

Hmmmmm. Thought there was only one belt on the mower. DUH !!! Shows you what I know ! Thanks, I'll check it tomorrow. Now to get in the manual and figure out how to get to it. :unsure::LOL:

I was mowing when my RZT L just stop moving forward..................in fact it wouldn't move backward either. The steering levers feel as if I'm trying to push them through cold honey. Move them in all directions and nothing happens. Engine runs fine, blades engage and disengage just fine...

Sure wish I could find a way to contact Red Dog Supplies, LLC. I've written them 11 emails now and not heard back from them.

I'll be doing that in the future.................if I can get Red Dog Supply to get me some blades!!!!!

Well, I ordered a set of Gator Blades from Red Dog Supply. They came in and sat in my office until I could install the new spindles. Turns out what I "thought" was a 54" mower was actually a 50" and, of course, the blades wouldn't fit. (where's the embarrassed emoji?) Contacted Red Dog...

Thanks

????? I live on a Social Security check each month. I can't afford 3 sets of blades. Whether that "washes" here or not, that's the case. I'm just trying to find a solid blade that will last some time.

Well, I've not the financial privilege to own multiple sets of blades. So I'll have to pick one and go with it. My main concern is to find a blade that will last, so I want a pretty hard one.......at least for the leading edge to be hard.

Okay, I've found some of the Stens blades. Do I want to be looking for the 942-05056A High Lift? Edit: I found them at Home Depot for $19.95 each. They were Stens #330-984 Medium Lift

By saying STENS, do you mean 8TEN blades? Are they really good blades?

Thanks...............wasn't able to find that.

(y)

Hmmmmm. Didn't find a match for that number when I did a search.

I understand the 8TEN blade is a good one............but I can't seem to find that number in a high lift. Do you have the name of the brand you prefer. I know nothing beyond the 8TEN is a respected blade by many.

Thanks. Good advice coming from someone who has a similar mowing scenario as I.(y)

Title pretty much says it all. I invested in three new spindles which I'll soon be installing. I live on 6 acres and my mower often ends up doing a little "brush hog" work (whether I mean to or not) and I've destroyed the spindles and blades. Is there a blade most people consider to be the...

I went ahead and ordered the Stens spindles and they are being shipped today. So I'll update when they arrive.

Well DANG!!!! I put the part number in the search box and was told they didn't have anything that matched it. Thanks. Is there a preference to brand or are they pretty much all the same?

I just went to their site and the Search box said there wasn't a part with that number.

I've got a 50" zero turn Cub Cadet that I need to replace the blade spindles on. My model # is 17AFCACP056. There are so many spindle kits on the internet I can't figure which one to purchase. When I put in my model # in, I'm basically told it's a 50" RTZ mower, but there are still so many...
