Default Clutch Rebuild-Manual Transmission

I purchase a 100 with a 42 inch mower deck and front blade at an auction in the fall of 2012.








This 100 is one of the quickest starting garden tractors I've own. When you tried to engage the mower it acted like something was in a bind and not letting the mower blades spin. The problem ended up being the pulley was against the mule drive. The welded nut inside the frame was missing and the mule drive was bent. Only way to fix it was to remove the engine. The clutch between the engine and trans was acting up too (someone installed a wide frame clutch). While I need to remove the engine to weld the nut back on I will fix the clutch too. Removing the clutch is easy to do if you follow your repair instructions in your Cub Cadet manual.

I had an extra narrow frame clutch to use.
Narrow Frame Clutch Assembly:


I wanted to take clutch assembly apart to make sure everything was ok.
Here are the special tools I use to disassemble/assemble a clutch assembly:

First thing I notice the throw out bearing was froze up.

One of the first things I do is to remove coupler joint between the trans and driveshaft. I use my V-block to hold the clutch and hang the clutch disk over the edge:


I use a spiroid pin punch to drive the pin out.

Notice the pin is over the edge so it has a place for the pin to go.
