Should this have this much slop?
 

As stated in the title, should the piece that the fork goes over have this much play? Its roughly 3/16-1/4" of play up and down..?
is that a bearing??


Thanks everyone have a good day!

Looks like you are missing the teaser spring between the disc and the throwout lever.

I think thats correct for a original. The teaser I think under that collar. It's been a while since I had an O clutch apart. Here's the link. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0118500010

Download the service manual. Page 16 has a good cross section of the clutch

thanks for the help guys, i see the spring on the diagram, i might be missing that. or it might be jammed up in there. i'll try disassembling tonight without killing myself with that spring and check it out. thanks for that manual too, been lookin for one:beerchug:

does anyone have dimensions of this teaser spring? i'd like to source one this weekend locally so i can go physically get it and install

I wouldn't recommend that......
I'd go used before I tried a hardware store spring for that particular application.

i should have been more clear, i work in a mold shop and we have springs that go into the molds. they vary from ranges of 10 lb springs to 400 ton springs! so i was going to cut one and maybe use that. any idea of pressure requirements?

This is the Cub part number. Cub Cadet 932-3017 (replaces 732-3017) Spring, Clutch Release. I have no idea what the specs are. You may want to call the local Cub dealers. When I lived in CT I used to buy my parts from Newtown Power Equipment.
