previously been sharpened, or if any metal separation
is present, replace the blades with new ones.

excessive vibration, may damage the tractor and/or
result in personal injury.

Test the blade's balance using a blade balancer. Grind
metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.

blade with the side of the blade marked ''Bottom'' (or with
a part number stamped in it) facing the ground when the
mower is in the operating position.

The V-belts found on your tractor are
specially designed to engage and disengage safely.
A substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by
not disengaging completely. For a proper working
machine, use factory approved belts.
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should be
replaced if any signs of wear are present . To change or replace
the deck belt on your tractor, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the deck as instructed earlier in this section under
Cutting Deck Removal.
2.
Loosen, but do not remove the hardware on the right and
left idler pulley.
NOTE: On some decks it may be necessary to remove the
spindle covers to remove and/or install the new belt. To
remove the spindle covers, remove the screws securing
them to the deck.

To remove the mulching attachment on a Cub Cadet XT1, follow these steps:
1. Lower the Mower Deck – Use the height adjustment lever to drop the deck to its lowest position.
2. Remove the Mulching Plug – The kit includes a plug that blocks the discharge chute. Pull out the plug from the chute.
3. Replace the Mulching Blades – If mulching blades were installed, you will need to remove them and replace them with standard blades. This typically involves removing the blade nuts using a wrench.
4. Reattach the Discharge Chute – If the chute was secured out of the way, release it back into its normal position.
Ensure the mower is turned off and the blades have stopped moving before performing any maintenance.

My xt-1 acts as if it’s in low gear
Your Cub Cadet XT1 may act as if it’s in low gear due to a bad transmission. According to the context, the issue worsens over time and is eventually confirmed by fluid leaking from the bottom. This indicates that the transmission is failing, which can cause a loss of power and poor drive performance even when the engine runs normally.
