    Here is the FREE 128 ya'll have been helping me fix. Just picture it with a deck on it now. I also got an IH Snow/Dirt Blade with it also for FREE. The story is I had all my cubs in the driveway washing, waxing, and polishing them for the tractor show that weekend. I see this guy pull in my...

    Ken-- No he stopped giving us updates on the loader a few months ago. We saw the beginnings of it but I don't know if he finished or just ran out of patience trying to build it.

    Allen- Yes I have checked the manuals for the tractor and the deck. * No I haven't checked the belt width, but when I bought the belts I took them the IH Parts numbers and they gave me the exact belts I needed *No I haven't checked to see if the deck "hangs" crooked when I let it down. I will...

    Allen- yes the pulley is in-line with the mule drive. Also yes I have flipped and flopped and done just about everything else you can do with a belt. I wish I could find someone close to me to come and look at it, I just don't have enough knowledge about this 128 yet (just got it a month ago)

    Ok so I was wrong about the original deck size to the tractor didn't know you weren't supposed to measure the actual deck but the cutting width is what your supposed to measure right?. The mule drive that's on the tractor has the straight pulleys on it, they are not angled.

    Allen- I'm pretty sure its the original mule drive as I bought it from the original PO. The deck however is not the original deck to the tractor. It had a 44" deck originally but it was rusted out and locked up. All I had to put on it was a 38" deck from my 73.

    Dennis-- The belts came packaged in Cub Cadet packages. Everyone tells me there isn't supposed to be a "twist" in the belt but I can't get the belt to fit the way Ken said it should, it just twists on it own on the mule drive. I don't have anyone else around me that knows alot about these Ol'...

    Ken- yea that's how it's on there. Well I guess I'm out of luck with it then. My dad grew up on a 122 so I'll have him check it out next time I see him. Until then Half of my yard is mowed and the other half isn't.

    Ken- thanks for the help. I had the mule drive apart before and I checked all the bearings and everything is fine on the drive. Deck has good spindles, fresh grease and blades, new belts on the PTO and Deck. But I got the 128 for FREE. That could be why I got it for free the po gave up on it...

    Ken- yea I'm pretty sure theres no twist in it. I have tried 3 different belts and still no luck. I can get about 1/2 lap around my yard and it pops off. I've tightened and loosened multiple times and still nothing

    Ok I got my 128 Up and mowing kinda. The pto to deck belt keeps popping off at the deck. I have tried all the adjusting I can to keep it on but nothing works. If the belt is too tight will that cause it to pop off?

    Hey guys I am trying to remove my PTO Clutch from my Cub and the set screws that hold it on are seized in there. I have tried WD-40/PB-Blaster and can't seem to get them out still! Anyone know of another way to get them out? I am worried I'll have them stripped then I'll never get them out.

    Thanks Paul, i was just wondering but my engine plate says K-161 and the tractor doesn't have an oil-bath air cleaner. Was there a way to convert the K-161 to a regular air filter?
