1977 or 8 Cub 1200
 

I bought this cub lawn tractor this winter and just started cutting the lawn. Used it a few times and the shifter came out of the arms that move back and forth in the trans. I fixed that and while doing that,I adjusted the break and now working to get the clutch adjusted. While doing that, i found the throwout bearing to be bad. PROBLEM.....I cannot get the clutch rod out of the sleeve going into the clutch plate. There is a roll pin into a slot that should just pull out but it seams frozen up. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to get it out without pulling the clutch plate and everything else???

Anyone....Have any ideas????

:Welcome2:

I had to soak mine in PB Blaster. Check your teaser spring as well mine was split in two. It was $4 at my local cub dealer.

Did you spray it on and let it soak for Hours or days????

I sprayed it on for a couple of days but I wasn't in huge rush. They get rusty after all these years. Have you downloaded the service manual for your tractor yet? They can be found in the Technical Library - Tractors section of the site http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/f...splay.php?f=19

For my 122 I needed the 1x2/3 Series. That threw me for off when I first found the site but now I know that it stands for 102,122 and 123 series of tractors that was being built at that time.

I forgot to add that all the manuals on the site are FREE! If your like most and you like to sit down and read thru your manual before you begin your work our sponser Binder Books (click their link at the top of every page) offer very nice printed manuals.

I can tell you that you just have to keep soaking it in PB BLASTER(and only Pb) It will move. If you don't have a creeper gear try and go from the top with a long punch if not from the bottom if you can raise the CC so you have a little more swing room for the hammer it will help . It took me about aweek to finally free mine 122 up. Good luck

Thanks for the input. Did you have to remove one of the two spring pins that go through the shaft? Or did it finally just come free by tapping it toward the back of the tractor?

Had to remove spiral pin to shaft (clutch side). It was a bear, the problem is tight quaters and not get enought swing with hammer. You should place a block of wood to support shaft so you dont have any spring back when hammering. This directs the entire force to where your hitting. Just keep tapping and PB blaster it will come. NO WD 40 IT WILL MAKE THINGS WORST!

That is what I thought by but the manual did not show that needing to be removed. I've been trying to get it off with that pin still in. Did you also have to take off the crossmember of the frame? I think I will get a 1/4 rod about a foot long and try to tap it out from the top....what do you think?
