Cub Cadet LT1040 CVT Drive Belt

[Jmac1976]

Ok Ive looked everywhere. I need to find an image or video of how the drive belt is supposed to be positioned on my lawn mower
Cub Cadet LT1040 CVT
Model 13AX10CG709
I got the new belt at tractor supply.
Got the part number from the cub cadet page 754-0467
I have the belt positioned on the back and front pully correctly its just in between there where i get confused especially under the steering plate since i cant see behind it
One way i tried when i pushed on the accelerator it just stayed down no tension
Tried the other way and it felt like I was pressing down on the brake
Neither time was the mower running though
Also the old one just broke off so my only help is looking for wear marks on the metal and that only helps some

From your picture the belt looks correct. While looking under the mower move the go pedal with your hand and see if the belt tensions up correctly and isn't rubbing anything that could cause belt damage. Also those belts should always be replaced in pairs since the two belts need to sync to work correctly. Wear on one belt will cause the other belt to not work correctly.

With how the belt is now, when i push the accelerator it feels like Im pushing the break, the belts get decently tight
There is also this belt guide bolt Im worried about too
The belt to the right seems ok but the one on the left seems like it would rub badly

The belt looks like it should go on the other side of the pulleys just opposite of what you have them. Also look to see if you have a spring that maybe missing.

Thanks for the parts diagram guys, I do have them though. It looks like its just the mirror opposite of the way its supposed to go
If i put the belt that doesnt go through the pulleys to the left side theres all sorts of springs in the way
So the picture they give isnt exactly my scenario for some reason
By the way the transmission belt and blade belt have been replaced, hence why this one finally snapped. But it was old too

Im wondering if i have a spring connected wrong
This is how i have it now and it looks to be safe from the bolt guide
Just the pedal doesnt come back up when i push it down and it loses all tension on the belt
First picture is pushing pedal, second one is not pushing the pedal

The way you had the belt in your first post is correct, your last post the belt is reversed on the pulleys. the belt normally splits that bolt that you have in one of the pictures. one side of the belt on each side.

Makes more sense the first way i had it, just worried about the head of that guide bolt

Also either way i put the belt on the pulleys the guide bolt splits the belt
