Cadet 76 clutch/brake issue

[tstaudenmier]

I am having an issue when I push the clutch/brake peddle in the motor jurks real hard I Am sure the belt is sticking in the pulley but can’t find a reason why I have burnt one belt up already due to this issue. Any help would be great.

I also noticed that the brakes are worn down but I am able to stop just fine still. I am almost completely out of adjustment for the brakes. I’m not sure if the brakes have anything to due with the clutching part of the system or not.

Tony, here's a link to the model 76 Service Manual hopefully that will help you solve the issues you are having.

Thank you for the link. I am going to try adjusting the brake and see if that helps the issue.

no luck with adjusting the brake i am going to have to reline them to get anything out of them .

Tony, I just realized that the service manual didn't have the main drive belt info. That info is in the Operator's Manual which we do not have online. Here's the info, hopefully it will be helpful:

Thank you for the belt diagrams I am using a standerd rubber v belt would this be a cause? It was working fine until I smoked the first belt .

Many guys go to napa and parts stores to get cheap belts and they always regret it, LOL
OEM Cub Cadet belts are hard to beat.

I wouldn’t call it a cheep belt I have a hard time finding a belt of that size. It’s a good year brand v belt. I haven’t been able to find some we’re it tells me what material the belt should be just the size.
