Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I tell if my engine pulley needs replacement? A: Inspect for cracks, wobble, or a worn groove that allows the belt to bottom out. If the pulley shows visible damage or if the belt slips despite proper tension, the pulley must be replaced.

Q: Are all three part numbers 756-0978B, 756-0978, and 756-0978A interchangeable? A: Yes, these are superseding part numbers; the 'B' and 'A' suffixes denote minor revisions that retain full backward compatibility for the listed Cub Cadet and MTD models.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
