I have a 1971 126. This was my grandfathers and I have all the manuals for it. I had the clutch leaver and bearing failed. I decided to over haul it instead of just fix the clutch. The engine is out. the clutch is mostly out. A couple of questions have come up.
The coupler for the drive shaft at the transmission. Is there an easier way than I have thought to pop that pin? I have a rod about the same size as the pin that is a foot long. It will take the pounding needed to push it out. That is the root I would go. Do I need to get new pins , or are the old ones reusable? Assuming no wear to the pin. I got the nut off the steering wheel. Cannot get the wheel off. The manual doesn't say anything past removing that nut. Is there more to getting wheel off? Is there a make shift way to move the frame around for painting and such like using furniture dollies or other way that others here have used or do use? Thanks Shane |

When I worked on the 122 I had the engine out so I just lifted it up to vertical and secured it. In that position everything is easy to get to. Fashion some kind of block to go between the frame and the connector before to start pounding away on the pins. Don’t want to shock the input shaft bearings. On the steering wheel I use a bearing splitter like this one.

For steering wheel removal, many use a standard flywheel puller and build a special jig out of hardwood, which goes under the wheel and that's what the puller pulls on. I have yet to make one myself but there are pictures of them On the forum.

First off, get a set of roll pin punches for removing and installing the spirol pins.
I would not reuse the old pins, make sure the replacements are spirol pins and not the hardware store split roll pins. If you have the engine out, stand the Cub up on its tail to access the drive shaft components |

Made this today after hearing about all the misery the spirol pins can cause.

Ok. I will just get new pins. Some are rusted. I will fashion a block to support the coupler to protect the bearings. I will have to fashion a collar to pull the wheel. I do have a puller, but no collar that will fit the wheel.
Another question. the tires are in good shape but are original. They do feel like the rubber is a little harder than the rubber on a vehicle tire. They still flex fine and no cracks. So when is a good time to get new tires? Shane |

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.
