Default What a rag

Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to look at my thread. This thread originally started as an attempt to fix the clutch on my 1976 1200 but soon turned into an attempt to compile as much information as possible for anyone servicing their Quietline series tractor. Best thing to do is go to the last page and check out the index. That will lead you to a variety of helpful information.


Also, let's make sure that this site continues to be here for us and for future generations of Cub enthusiasts. Click the "Donate" button and cross the palm of the man that makes this possible. Do it!


OK, so here it is, my first International Cub Cadet. It’s a 1200. I never really went looking for one, it was just kind of there, on my way to work one day, so I bought it. From a guy who owns a local small engine repair shop, it was his tractor and he had it for years, or so they say, you know how the story goes…

Sure I got one of those Cub Cadets they sell at Home Depot but that’s a different story.

From what I can see from the serial number it’s a ’76, what a great year!, just like my F250 4 x 4 highboy and my F-600.

Until today,

Sudden stop and parts on the ground, one ball bearing and three lock washers. After getting it in the shed and pullin’ off the cover I am suddenly enlightened as to the reason for my new found inability to move in either the forwards or backwards directions. Los jointus de la ragus has shitus las bedus, or for those of you not quite so well versed in Spanglish, the flex disc coupler joint headed south for the winter, which is what I should have done! What the heck am I still doing in Massachusetts, and I guess you Midwestern boys aren’t getting’ much better weather, so here we go…

Any help from you all such as part numbers, suppliers etc.. would be greatly appreciated.

It looks to me that there is a bushing of sorts inside the transmission input shaft yoke and if you can see from my picture it looks to have a bit of damage, so if that is a wear item I guess that should be added to the list.

I understand that the ball bearing generally resides inside the previously mentioned bushing to aid with drive shaft centering. Now what about the three lock washers? Did someone install these behind the ball bearing to act as a spacer? As not one of the four bolts that attached the offending flex disc coupler joint to the drive shaft and also to the transmission yoke had become loose to any noticeable degree, ny-locks all intact, I’m thinking that may be just be the case! Look at the number of flat washers stacked on the bolts, they previously resided between the drive shaft and the flex disc coupler joint. Maybe some sort of misalignment, drive shaft to short, engine mounted to far forward, transmission to far back, I don’t know, but whatever the case, if the end of the drive shaft was not seated far enough into the transmission input yoke I’m thinkin’ that may be a contributing factor to my dearly departed rag joints early, and might I say “untimely” demise!

Ok, so looking forward…on the tractor I mean. We can see from the next picture that what I’m calling a friction disc, the thing with three holes that apparently at some time in the recent past was driven in a rotational manner by the three pins that extend from the item commonly know as the three pin driver. As I said, we can see from the picture that said friction disc has suffered greatly from the sudden state of imbalance!

I must apologize, I may have, while acting in a hasty manner, neglected to attach a picture of the stack of washers necessary to gain a true understanding of one of my previous posts, therefore;

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
