Step 1: Safety First
Ensure your snow blower is turned off, and the spark plug wire is disconnected to prevent accidental starts. Wear safety glasses and work gloves throughout the process for protection.
Step 2: Accessing the Drive Belt
Locate the drive belt under the snow blower. You may need to remove the bottom cover or access panel to reach the drive belt. Use a screwdriver or a socket set to carefully remove any screws securing the cover.
Step 3: Remove the Old Drive Belt
Inspect the old drive belt for wear, cracks, or signs of damage. Use pliers to release tension on the drive belt, and then slide it off the pulleys.
Step 4: Install the New Drive Belt
Place the new drive belt onto the pulleys, following the same configuration as the old belt. Ensure the belt is properly seated in the grooves of the pulleys.
Step 5: Tension the Drive Belt
Using pliers, gently apply tension to the new drive belt by pulling it over the pulleys. Make sure it sits snugly in place.
Step 6: Reassemble the Cover
Reattach the bottom cover or access panel and secure it in place with the screws you removed earlier. Tighten the screws to ensure a secure fit.
Step 7: Test the Snow Blower
Reconnect the spark plug wire and start your Cub Cadet 2X 24 INTELLIPOWER snow blower. Engage the drive to ensure that the new belt is functioning properly. Test both forward and reverse movements to confirm that the drive system is operating smoothly.
