Default Cub cadet 129 pto will not disengage
Good machine, starts and runs beautifully. Did not use mower deck for a few years, used tractor to tow etc. Put deck back on but not matter how we adjust the PTO engage lever, the pto and consequently the mower blades will not disengage.

Any easy solutions. I did mow for an hour but still will not respond the way I ask it to thinking that the ?clutch plates would separate if there was corrosion etc. How to approach the problem?

Thank You

Did you have the PTO lever back when mowing? If not, they had pressure from being engaged. With the lever pulled back, you could hope the resistance of the mower would break the clutch plate free in the PTO.

He's talking about the PTO bearing.

I'm thinking that this is probably due from not using it for a time. The proper way to fix would be remove and rebuild it, surface the plate and hub and a new disk. However, you might get away with moving the lever out of the way and tapping with a hammer several times right in the middle of the PTO itself on the button. This is how most move the set screw holes into position with the basket knotches to line them up. Try turning the hub as you tap with the hammer and you might end up working it free.

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.
