Default Anti Rattle Springs
I have a problem with the anti rattle springs on my 582 breaking. These are the double hooked springs that clip over the clutch plate and secure it to the rear drive disc. They are breaking just above the hook. I am buying them at the local CC dealer at $2.50 a piece. I just replaced two missing ones last week and I noticed after mowing yesterday another one was broken. I found it on top of the mower deck under the top cover. Is there something else more reliable I could use instead of these springs?

There are likely very few people that have success with these springs. I view them as a great engineering idea that simply does not work.

Strange thing, maybe not. I have never had a single issue with the PTO anti-rattle springs in my 129. I installed them after rebuilding the PTO about 5 years ago. (They came with the kit after all.)

I never had any trouble with the PTO clips either but I believe he is refering to the actual drive shaft clutch springs for a manual clutch located behind the engine.

The OP is not talking about PTO ani-rattle springs.......

He is referring to the ant-rattle springs on the drivetrain clutch rattle springs. They are on the clutch/3-pin driver. Little annoying rattling things.

I never liked them, annoying little almost useless things. I think that 1050 you have only has one in there, although it may have both; it's been a while.

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.
