Cub 5000 MMM eating belts

[Cub5k]

I asked my dealer to ship the kit to me so I wouldn't have to haul my tractor in. Still haven't received it though. Its supposed to be coming from Cub.

Heres another problem I found, the muffler is apparently defective. I noticed a changed in sound and when I looked closely I saw that the welds at the points where the header enters the muffler is cracked. Mufflers are about $90 so that one will be fixed under warranty.

I realize that this is a VERY old thread, but I just got a 2005 5252E with 60" MMM and want to be proactive in trying to ward off potential problems.

Has anyone ever come up with the part number for this kit?

Can anyone post a link to a parts diagram that shows it?

My deck has a long bolt in the approximate location that the "extra pulley" is in posts 21/22. The bolt appears to be there to limit belt movement.

There is not much belt clearance near the center of the deck so it appears that the position of the pulley would be critical.

Does the pulley mount with a bolt through that same hole in the deck?

What is the diameter of the "extra pulley"?

Are all the original pulleys stock size, and in their original location?

Thanks, Joel
