    Cub Cadet Engines

    I'm sure a few years down the road, the electronic parts will be NLA. Maybe someone who never cut a lawn (most of our teenage kids) let alone start a lawn tractor over thought the choke and throttle cables. Might be a nice marketing ploy, but I'll stick with with my relatively inexpensive...

    Put some sand paper on the pulley and cleaned it up. Put it all back together. Tested and nothing changed. Auger still spins with the belt loose on the pulley. I have a new OEM belt on it. I wonder if going the next size bigger would correct the problem.
