3208 pto belt replacement

mossdown · Jun 18, 2011

Afternoon guys. I am new to cubs. Last year i bought and sold an 1864. It was nice but i wanted something else. this spring i purchased 3208 with only 147 hrs on it. It is shaft drive.I am trying to locate a service manual for it. I would like to know how to change to 2 matching pto belts.a local dealer says they do not and cannot get me one. Guess they want me to take it to them for everything.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Al.

Here's a link to where I've uploaded the 3000 series service manual.

I don't think there's specifice section on replacing the belts that I remember but in the section on engine removal it explains some of it.

Thanks for the info. I did download the pages. You are right, there are no specific directions on how to change the pto belts. I am wondering if I have to take apart the complete front of the cub to get at them? Looks like it is going to be a guessing game. Thanks for your help.Al.

Long shot - mebbe the PTO belt instructions are contained within the attachment's manual(s)?
