Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Cub Cadet riding mower 2130, drive path, exact configuration


Question
How do you put the belt back on the mower?  It came off by itself when I started mowing.  I saw it wasn't cutting, so I stopped and started backing up and then I saw the belt dragging in front.  I can't find the manual.
Thanks

Answer
Hello,

Sorry, I don't know the exact configuration of your deck.
The belt can be put on by following the drive path from the engine to the decks' pulleys.  Each blade spindle must turn so that the blades rotate with the cutting edge in front.  The back side of the belt will pass around a tensioning idler pulley.  Take your time and you will be able to figure it out.  Let me know how you make out.  
If the belt is rounded, cracked or very shiny, it is getting time for replacement.
