Default K161 PTO and basket pully removal

When removing the set screws from the PTO, I found that they don't come out unless the hole in which they live is clean. So using a .30 cal.bore brush along with my drill motor, cleaned the holes out,and a follow up spray of WD-40, works super. As for the moment, while removing the eccentric collar bearing set screw, it simply snapped in two, and it was very easy to do and did not require any force at all to break. Now I'm stuck with trying to get the remainder of the screw out so I can proceed. These pics. should say it all. I will keep a post going on my experiences with this matter. Any advice is welcome, Thanks.

Sometimes it is possible to place a nut on the broken set screw then weld inside the nut to attach it to the broken set screw, and the heat from the welding usually helps also.
While it is warm, try to move it ever so little back/forth trying to break it loose. a vice grips works well here if there is room.
If the nut breaks off, try it again.
also, I have welded a flat washer on then welded a nut to it.
As thin as that collar is, you should be successful.
Luck!

Be sure to use some Anti-seize when you put that PTO, bearing, and starter pully & basket back on.

Well, this project is now finished. I must say, it was very eazy and re-assembled correctly. Upon the broken set screw of the e.locking collar was filed flat, drilled, and a eazy-out made quick work of the set screw. Unbealievably the basket pully slipped off the shaft with out the use of any puller. It was fun to learn about the pto, bearing, etc., and all. So if anyone could use help with theirs, let us know. now I have is to set the pto engagement lever.

Well, here to find out I must have not reassembled the pto correctly because it stays engaged.

JohnCub: The PTO Clutch is engaged and stays that way when properly assembled. To disengage the clutch, the Wear Button must depress the Thrust Button.

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.
