[AT] Cub Cadet LT-1050 broken drive belt

[charlie hill]

Howard, you've had about 8" of rain in the last 2 days haven't you?   We've 
missed most of it here in New Bern but got a nice rain today.
Funny how it can pour a flood 2 days in a row in one place and barely rain 
at all 10 miles away.

Charlie

Steve, I really appreciate all the info I received from you and the other 
fellows that came to my aid. Today I managed to get the electric clutch 
removed before it started raining and blowing up under the shed where I was 
working. Tomorrow I have a Dr. appointment, (routine checkup) but maybe if 
it don't rain I can get the belt on in the afternoon.
Thanks again!
Howard
