Default 147 PTO problem
I am trying to remove the clutch on a 147 to replace the thrust button. I have removed all 5 set screws and cannot pull the clutch assembly off. Any ideas?

I do believe there is 6. 2 in each hole. I had to use a brass hammer to gently coax mine off

Sounds about right, these small set screws can be a real bugger!

Welcome to PTO set screw fun. I worked over my 147's pulley for the better part of a month, only to have it crack while trying to remove the very last set screw.

Dropping some PB blaster in each hole and letting it sit a few days will help remove stubborn screws. It is correct that there is 2 in each hole. Even with both of them removed on my 147 the PTO doesn't like to come off. I had to gently hammer it off with a hammer and a long wooden (to minimize damage to the pulley) hammer handle.

Watched a YouTube video tonight of a guy who burned up his drill bits like i did trying to drill out those hardened screws. He then heated the drive hub in the area where the screws were red hot and then the drill bit went right through them. Maybe the heat takes the temper out of the screws? I'm going to try it next time I need to drill through a stubborn set screw.

You might wind up cooking your PTO clutch bearing.

Spray the hole with a good penetrating oil a couple times a day. Do this for a week or so. Then take the next bigger allen wrench and see if you can get it to move. If not, you'll have to drill it out. A week long soak has always worked for me to loosen em up. Good luck and keep us posted.......

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.
