Austin-Depends on which deck you have. The 38" and 48" take a different PTO belt. See here: http://cubfaq.com/belts.html

I once used electrolysis to clean a K241 block. It worked fine. Two things will reverse hydrogen embrittlement- heat and time. Running the engine should eventually counteract that.
Sandblasting aluminum, regardless of whether or not it is an engine part, is a no-no.

Frank - glad you heard me yelling all the way from out here. How's that 216 working???
Matt - what's the issue with sand blasting aluminum??? I've never done it that I recall but I know guys that have sand blasted Kohler heads.

It creates a rough surface bunch of little stress risers that can cause the part to crack. Aluminum is a lot more sensitive to this than iron or steel. Not to mention this removes a lot more of the surface than it would on a harder material. If you want to clean aluminum this way, use glass beads, walnut shells, etc.
Yeah, people do it, and most get away with it. But that doesn't make it a good idea. Ignorance is bliss...

I'm thinking this snow blade that was on the 100 I picked up at RPRU spent lots of tome stored indoors!!
It had been used though, needed a new cutting edge and is going to wind up on the 1650 this season along w/weighted and fluid filled turfs and chains.
