Hi...my name is Keith..and there is a couple of things that could be a problem...(1) is the battery cables needs cleaning or...(2) the ground connection to the frame is rusted or...(3) the engine alternator is bad.or needs attention...or (4) you have a bad amp meter(if one is installed on your mower)..i hope this has helped..if not..please write back

SOURCE: belt keep coming off cub cadet 1042, all parts on

my cub cadet used to throw the cutter belt too....till i took the drastic step of adding a bit more tension to the belt. this was achieved by drilling another hole on either side of the chassis about 1 3/4 inches to the rearward of the machine and moving the lift arms to the new holes. Viola, more belt tension, and furthermore there is now no interference between the tensioner and the rearmost run of the belt.

Your looking at a new steering gears at the bottom of the shaft. You can fix it if you have the time. You need to hoist the front end into the air....drop the deck, remove the nut on the steering wheel and everything pulls out the bottom of the machine.

If your not handy....send it to a good repair shop. www.nnyparts.com

Sounds like you have a short circuit, either in the PTO clutch, or in the wiring that goes to it. Inspect the wiring for any obvious spots where insulation has rubbed off or burned. Also look at the wiring at the back of the PTO engagement switch for these signs. Before buying an expensive PTO clutch, unplug its connector. Drive around with the PTO switch on (even though the PTO won't activate and the blades won't be engaged). If the fuse doesn't blow, the problem must be within the PTO clutch. If the fuse still blows, it must be in the PTO switch or the wiring from there to the clutch. Use an ohmmeter to trace and find the short. Good luck!
