Cub Cadet IH 526 tiller

Just picked one of these up after finding one in my price range of $0.00. It's missing the reverse belt, does anyone have info on the belt size and routing? Hopefully I'll need one after installing a new coil (currently no spark). Doesn't have the belt shroud either but I'm not optimistic about finding a replacement for that.

Not a lot of info available on these on it as it's an oldie.

So I think I have the belt routes figured out. I also bought a new carb for it, but then discovered that for $17 what you get is a piece of crap. It runs with the old one but takes a few pulls to get it going. Anyone know where to get a well built replacement carb? Or should I have the old one rebuilt? In the meantime, look what the wee beastie did! That tilled area was all weeds and crap that it tore out by the roots. Helluva good machine.

i’d suggest rebuilding the old carb rather than replacing it with an el-cheapo knockoff.
doing so is often more simple than it may sound.
