Default Clutch Problems on the OL'Girl
Hey guys!!! How's everyone doing tonight????

Well as you all know the Clutch Release Collar on the OL' Girl decided to lock up on me. I tore down the clutch and took some pics of the broken pieces that I found once I had the clutch disassembled. As of right now I still don't know what exactly happened. Like I stated in my other post, I always kept plenty of grease inside the Release Collar. But I guess it's just one of those things I guess.lol I'm getting ready to start ordering parts for the OL' Girl and should have her running within a few weeks,so we can get those plowing vids done.But anyway here are the pics. Maybe you guys can figure out what went wrong. Have a great night everyone!!!


Thrust Bearing


Burnt Out Teaser Spring


Long Clutch Spring


Clutch Shaft Bushing with a deep cut.


Back of Clutch Shaft Bushing. You can see where the Clutch Spring was really rubbing the heck out of it.


Burnt up Clutch Release Collar. That Red color that you see is grease that was burnt off.


Thrust Washer #1 in not so good shape.


Thrust Washer #2 in a very bad shape. If you notice, this washer has more of a bowl shape than flat like Washer #1.


Drive shaft is not looking to good.


Drive Shaft washer pushed up against the small roll pin.

Hey Cub61,
Looks like about everything is wore out there. Hope you get it back up and running soon.

Hey Diz!!! How's it going good buddy!!!

You're right. Everything is pretty much shot if not close to it. One thing that I failed to mention about all this is that I remember seeing lots of smoke rising out from the bottom of the tractor as I was mowing. And that's pretty much when the tractor stopped rolling. I figured it was the clutch disc that had gotten hot or something. But thankfully the clutch disc is in perfect condition along with the pressure plates. But I'm guessing that smoke was coming from the grease that was burning up within the Release Collar and outside of the Release Collar. Take care good buddy!!!!

Cub61,
What bad luck. Some say "go big or stay home". Well it looks like your clutch decided to go big when it went out. I feel for ya. And just after doing all that engine work.

Hang in there.

Good morning RPalmer!!! How's it going good buddy!!!

Thank you very much for your support. I really do appreciate it. You know I pretty said the same thing. "After all that engine work, now the clutch decides to fail on me". I tell you RPalmer, if it's not one thing it's another with this OL' Girl. But oh well don't worry, we'll have her running again before you know it. Cause she's got some plowing to do. But anyway, you take care good buddy and have yourself a great day. Take care.


MATT

Ah Matt:

YUP....looks like you will need some parts...:biggrin2.gif:

Well, if the drive line was original, that isn't bad for 45+ yrs of use.

When you get that drive line rebuilt, you will have a strong runner.

Hey Diz!!! How's it going good buddy!!!

Sorry I haven't posted an update here lately. But I do have an update for you guys. I called up our good buddy Vince, and told him what had happened to the OL' Girl. And well thankfully he has a good complete clutch setup that he'll be shipping to me. So with that in mind, we should have OL' Girl back in service within a few days. So all we have to do, is just play the "waiting game" until the parts gets here. Don't worry guys, I haven't forgotten about the plowing vids. We will do them, just like I promised. Have a great night everyone!!!!


MATT

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.
