Need more 109 help
Sold a nice Wheelhorse 257h to buy the non running 109 hoping to have a nice tractor but now i wish i had the WH back and never seen a Cub Cadet.Every time i fix something on the Cub something else gives me trouble.
Got the 109 running and working but go to engage the blades and the deck is locked up.The left outer spindle locks down whenever the blade is tightened.Take the blade off and deck turns fine. Makes no sense to me. How is the blade stacked on the spindle? There is a small rubber like washer between the blade and spindle and a big flat washer and nut on the bottom side. No matter how i stack stuff the blade still locks up when you tighten the nut.

Do you have the service manual for the deck/tractor? It shows a cross-sectional view of the spindle. Is there some twine or something wrapped around the spindle?
Don't give up now....any machine this old is going to have a bunch of parts that are near/at the end of their life...once you fix everything, it's going to be worth it.

Once you get the bugs worked out of the 109, it will put that WH 257H to shame. The 257H is a nice mower, but that's about all it is. The 109 is a real garden tractor while the 257H is more of a yard tractor. But I hear ya - I have done some trading that had my wife shaking her head.

Since we don't know what style of spindle you have, try this:
http://cubcadet.arinet.com/scripts/E...&loginpwd=test If it's the style that has 2 tapered roller bearings, the bearings are the same as the front wheel bearings in many 1970's full-size GM cars. At least that's what I've been told. They look exactly the same.

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.
