Help with clutch problem!!
 

I just got my first IH cub cadet 108 I believe around '74. I was mowing my yard was half way finished. When the clutch started acting up. The tractor would not move forward or backwards. I was only able to get it to move if I pressed the pedal down about half way, then only would go in first gear and not very fast. What should I look for?

You might check to see if you sheared or lost a pin out of your driveshaft. If so its a cheap easy fix.

Welcome to OCC! Congrats on your first cub!:beerchug:

Welcome to the best Cub site on the net. Although these machines are near bullet proof they do wear out in the driveline area. When my son and I took the driveshaft and clutch out of our 102 the driveshaft looked more like a camshaft than a driveshaft with one area worn about halfway through and it still worked!!. As Grampie said take a look at the roll pins. It is best to have the rear off the ground, the engine running and in gear. Sometimes a roll pin will shear off in the shaft but both ends will still be sticking out making it look ok.

Welcome to OCC! Good luck with your 108.

I to would guess a spiral pin broke.

Clutch issues
 

Well I just tried again and it started working ok, but only for a short period. Then again it wouldn't move but only alittle if I pushed the peddle down abit and very slow. I did not see any pins sheared and could see the drive shaft spinning when I let off the clutch peddle. And Zippy1 what is a spiral pin and where is it located?
