1979 582 needs clutch

Hello sirs.It has been a while since I have posted .Times have been a little scetchy for me the past 8 months.This is an excellant forum and I am proud to be a part of it........Ive put off replacing the clutch in my 582 all winter and soon that green stuff will be rising.Could anyone point me in the right derection with this task.I am a auto body man by trade so I should be able to perform this.

Thanks:American Flag 1:

Check with Midwest super cub for a full clutch setup. And I think all the parts are still available from cub.

Service manuals in the tech section will walk you right through it. Good luck! As stated, MWSC has full clutches. So do at least one of the sponsors at the top (IH Cub Cadet Parts), along with CCC.

BTW, I think you mis-typed your heading. They didn't start making the 582's until 1979. You perhaps have a 1984?

Hello, check out Lakota Racing or Zack Kerber Machine, they make the clutch and a lot of other cub parts, good prices too. Mike

Thanks guys.will do.i will post some pics and the progress this week.

Thanks for that imformation. I got this 582 last year from e-bay and I was told 1974 582.The tractor has been good to me all last season so I plan on taking good care of it for as long as I can.The motor says 16 horspower and the air cleaner says 18 hp.So it may have had an engine swap.At any rate her are some pics of my progress so far.

I removed the tank and the front sheet metal to access the roll pin in the shaft .Punched out like butter.Now to get the pressure plates turned

Nice 582! Good luck on the repairs.

Probably wouldn't hurt to pull the engine out, remove the tins and give it a good cleaning while you have it that far apart. :beerchug:

Agree with SamMac you might be surprised how much gunk accumulates under those tins.

You should remove the clutch from your tractor.Makes it easy to replace the throw out bearing and inspect the driveshaft for wear.
