Default Front Clutch Saveable???

Hi All, Recently bought a 1968 Cub 105. Got it running but the front clutch was stuck engaged. Took it off to rebuild but the new bearing does not fit very tight into the clutch. The new bearing will just drop right into the pulley. I think the old bearing may have worn the pulley out.

Does anyone know what options I have to get a tight fit without breaking the bank? I would prefer not to buy a new pulley if I don't have too.

Thanks

How about a thin coating of JB Weld in the pulley then slide the bearing in, clean off the ooze and secure with the set screws. Or maybe some Loctite retaining compound if the clearance isn't too bad. If the pulley is going to be thrown out and changed, a trial effort might not be a bad effort to see if it works.

I'd go for the retaining compound if you are within it's recommended range of gap fill or find a parts clutch for a reasonable price from another member or ebay !

You may have the wrong bearing, or we need pictures of the bearing in the back of the pto.

I have attached pictures of bearing in pulley. When I put the set screws in it will stop the bearing from turning. But if you hold it up to the light you can see a gap between the bearing and pulley. Not sold the set screws will hold the bearing tight over time and wear.

The bearing is not a press fit, it will be fine like that, this is one I took a picture to show you .

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.
