I was also having problems removing the rear baffle from this self-propelled cub cadet. i had removed a bolt underneath and a 1/4-15 screw on each side but it would not pull out, stuck on the right side. So I checked the IPL. It showed the screw on the right side. It did not show the one that I removed on the left side though. And I noticed another same screw number going into the wheel bracket. Turns out it goes into the rear baffle as well.

as for the belt it has mtd and the correct number on it. When I measure the OD by running it up the wall I get 31 3/4 but every where I see it it says 32.19 to 32 1/4.

Typos like that are not uncommon - especially for MTD, AYP, Murray books.



*edit* I don't speak french or any other language but English (and ASL).. so I wouldn't know about any translation errors.... but, perhaps whomever who wrote it just wanted their 15 minutes of fame...

I just thought that is the way Canadians wrote


I'm sorry...........I will go back to sleep now.

Bad deck core part number, the word "corps" should be "core" or in French "coeur". the "191 is probably "1991". "po" is Chechen for "after"

Whoever translated the document wasn't proofreading their work either.

As for the part location illustrations I have been having problems too especially with Briggs engine IPLs lately. Mislabeled parts, part shown in the wrong place or not shown at all. I have been looking at Husqvarna wiring lately and they don't shown all of wiring details either; just know from experience about the hidden safety feature of seat connector.

sorry, I could have edited out the french part.

Since everyone is so excited to know the answer. LOL. deck is 19" but says the blade is 21" . Part number for the blade is correct, it is a 19" blade. I wonder how often though this type of error would lead to someone buying a belt of the wrong length. I bought the new belt for this unit and it measured in about 31.5 so about 1/4 shorter than the one on it and the belt I bought was described as 32 1/8.

I'll finally get some sleep.
Kidding, of course. Another mo-mo got sum go-go!

Maybe MTD shouldn't be using that ruler that they ran over. As for buying the wrong belt or part because of these typos is probably more common than we think as matter of fact I had a customer last week that brought a belt somewhere else and came to find out why it wasn't fitting. The local vendor insisted sold the correct belt but the it just wouldn't fit. When I check several places I came 96.5" belt and he was sold a 77.5"; no wonder it didn't fit. The vendor had a typo in his parts manual.

Since I had so many problems with MTDs belts when I first started working on mowers I have got into the habit of checking at least 3 reliable vendors numbers and sizes on any new to me equipment. No wonder some us only order OEM belts to same time and problems. On those small size belts that 1/2" equals a lot difference in diameter; unless, the belt is manufactured with different specs that changes its effective length.
