Default Manual PTO bearing replacement

I've looked here for a bit and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Can someone here please inform me as to how I'm supposed to go about correctly installing the PTO bearing onto the shaft. Having the snap ring on there I can't seem to install it. I understand it is supposed to be tight but holy moly. I've smacked it with a block of wood and hammer and it just won't go. I'd appreciate info as to how you guys have done this in the past.

thanks, Joe

Locking collar should slide onto shaft, the stepped edge facing you.
Bearing should go on fairly easy as well.
I just did mine and I might have had to thump it with hammer handle but no hammering it on.
Bearing only goes on until flush with end of shaft.

The snap ring is in the pto bearing bore.
I have never had to replace that though.

Yes. That is where my issue lies though I believe. The new bearing I am installing has a snap ring which is not expanding to allow bearing to be flush with the end of the shaft. I suppose I did not pay enough attention when I pulled the old one off but I believe it was flush as well with the snap ring over expanded versus snap ring bottoming out at end of shaft.

in the picture above it is bottomed out to the snap ring. I would say that it's leaving 1/16" to being flush. Old bearing and new bearing are identical and correct for the 127.

My 127 does not have any snap ring touching the shaft.
The only snap ring I have is inside the pto pulley assembly that will go over the bearing in your pic. It stops the pto pulley assembly from sliding too far onto that bearing.

Lets see a pic of the "snap ring". I don't see one in the pic. Are you talking about the locking collar?

I have had PTO bearings with the snap ring on them, too. I put the bearing on until it touches the snap ring, then installed the locking collar. No problems so far. (this is not the same snap ring as the one inside the PTO.)

Is it an internal snap ring on the OD of the bearing?

The snap ring is on the ID of the bearing sleeve. It's very thin and as such hard to see in the picture. I will take some more pictures of the bearing then tonight when I get back home. Thanks for the help so far

Why not just take the snap ring off.....
They are removable.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
