Need 127 mule drive diagram
 

Hey guys,
I've been working of fixing up this ole 127.
I just bought a PTO assembly from one of the members here.
Day before yesterday I drove about 85 miles one way to buy a belt, filter, gasket, and genuine Hy-Tran Ultra.
I've been trying to make time to put this thing together.
I got some of it done yesterday! :)

I don't really know beans about IH Cubs, or tractors in general for that matter.
But, the pulley to the left was rubbing the metal piece that it attaches to.
Upon closer examination, there is an extra bearing mounted on the inside of the pulley underneath the PTO. The spring looks like it's not secure.

I'm saying something just doesn't look right to me.
I'm thinking that the last owner did some Mickey Mouse work on it.
I know I don't want to destroy a new belt, or drive 170 miles round trip to buy another one.

Soooooooo...
I'm wondering if anyone had a diagram of the mule drive for a 127, or a good close up Picture would be helpful.
I know I'm eventually gonna have to get the manuals for this thing. But, that's just not in the budget today.

Any help would be appreciated. :biggrin2.gif:

Is this what you are looking for.........??

Yes, that does help some.
Looking at the first diagram....
It looks like the spring is supposed to have a longer reach on one end.
It looks like the spring just lays behind the nut, and then the nut is tightened.
Also, part 6 on the second diagram is welded in place on mine and part 15 pulley is physically rubbing against part 17.

Now that I have a better idea what it looks like, I'm sure I'll be able to make it right.

Mine looks like this. Note the extra piece on the inside of the left pulley.

I would take the pulley off and inspect the bearing and the axel for excessive wear and the straightness of part # 5.

Part #5 looks a bit crooked to me.
I intend to replace the pulley.
Unfortunately, part #6 is welded in. Therefore I cannot remove part #5.

I'm thinking that part isn't supposed to be welded in.
What in the BLUE BLAZES do people do to these tractors?! :angry:

Could be much, much worse...I've got a deck that somebody welded the pulley to the spindle...:angry: When I got my 782D, someone had welded all this crap to the back of the frame to mount a car battery on it. :angry::angry:

Get out your die grinder and grind the welds off.

Titanium - If you have bad bearings it can rub. If the bracket itself is bent it ban rub. I had a similar situation with my 124 so I just got out the 4 1/2" grinder and removed part #6 in the parts page posted. I don't know why IH welded a shaft that has two pivoting pulley brackets. I ended up just making a new shaft with enough length to use cotter pins so I could remove it in the future. I think it was 5/8" stock I used. You'll need to get some 3/16" coiled roll pins and maybe a new washer or two to get it back close to original. Measure carefully between the holes and the distance from each side. I just used the old shaft to get the holes where they should be. You may (and probably do) need to resize the holes in both pulley brackets as well. If the pulley is rubbing the bracket itself you made need to just bend the bracket while it's out. It sounds like a lot but it's not that bad. It got my mule drive back in good shape with little slop. This, in turn, should put the pulleys in their proper position and hopefully solve your problem.

Hope this helps. Good luck! Wayne
