Default Broke the 1200 yesterday

Title says it all! Put the new driver and clutch in, mowed awhile. Then started rattling, then louder next a big you know what'n BOOM! Guess I had the clutch adj up too tight. It destroyed one pin on the driver, the new clutch, throw out bearing, teaser spring, the clutch arm and who knows what else. Was all my fault. I should have triple checked the clutch adj. Now I have an expensive mistake/lesson learned!

Ouch.

So you think the clutch arm was riding on the throwout bearing and not enough play in the pedal?

I want to make sure i avoid this happening to me...

Yes the throw out bearing was riding the clutch arm. I was thinking of replacing the arm and hanger. Now I don't have a choice! I just hope that the driveshaft is ok. Have to make a new pin for the driver. All it is, is a grade 5 bolt with the head cut off. And ground smooth.

Well that sucks. This clutch has been fighting you. Hope you get it figured out.

With a plastic tank at that.

I don't understand how riding the clutch with a tight adjustment could cause this. I can see the disc wearing because of slipping but not a catastrophic failure like this. Can someone explain why this happened?

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.
