Hey folks,
I'm new to this forum. Been doing other automotive related forums for decades but never for tractors. My father in law gave me his old Cadet 107 and it's missing various parts here and there, been somewhat bastardized, and I'm making an attempt to get it to where I can cut the grass. I have a 3 blade mower deck but the belt I have is way too short, driving the left (from front view) idler pulley of the mule drive right up into the frame, so I have to assume this is the incorrect belt. What's the proper belt for this unit? I think it's a 48" deck but I have to measure tonight. I also need the tension spring for said pulley as it's no longer there.
Also, I hear a lot about "narrow frame". How do I know if I have a tractor with narrow or wide frame?
Many more questions to follow but the main thing for now is I need to cut the grass before my dog gets lost.
