Default Much thanks
Got it figured guys.

darkminion_17 drew my attention to using aftermarket parts.

Pulled the engine off and clutch assembly out.

Mic'ed the aftermarket plates with my original plates....after market plates MUCH thicker, took up the free play area.

I was trying to beef things up a bit...am installing a K341 on the 73. Its a workhorse around here.

Had already resurfaced the original plates, so just used those. Everything A-OK now.

Thanks again guys.

Hello, if those are Zack Kerbers, i know his pulling plates are thicker and use different hole locations for the driveshaft. I don't know if he has stock plates. Mike

Default You are right...
mickb72 you are correct those are Zack Kerbers.

I didn't know they were that much thicker.

I see he has drive shafts as well, however trying to find a machine shop around here to drill the hole for input shaft is like pulling teeth.

Thanks for all the info guys.

I make driveshafts plus other parts. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=20875

Tell me the locations you want the holes and I'll make it to your specs. $30 plus shipping.

Jeff

I think that clutch was a bit overkill for the application..... but whatever.

I wouldn't turn the disk down, as you spent the money on a heavier set up....why kill it? I would suggest getting the proper shaft made.

New driveshaft?
Who drilled the holes.
Are you using a Cub Cadet throw out bearing or an aftermarket throw out bearing?
It sounds like the holes in the drive shaft are in the right location. I've used the thicker clutch plates and didn't have any problems. You should have enough adjustment using thicker plates.

I'm using stock clutch plates with a blue spring and a Kevlar clutch disc on my 100. I have no slippage issues with this set up. Engine is making around 14 horse power and pulls a 10 inch plow at plow days.

Looks like one of Zach's 6 pin drivers...

Me thinks that you may have ordered the wrong driveshaft there gscott.

Zach has two versions, narrow hole and wide hole...

I never used on of Zach's 6 pin drivers. Are they the same measurements in terms of thickness????

Yes I am aware he has a Zach 6 pin driver.
I just stated what I use.......no need for overkill.

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.
