Default PTO delete cc149
To be used only as a snow plow. PTO needs to be rebuilt to function. Don't need it. I have the clutch part removed. What essential parts must remain? Seems like the bearing can be permanently removed also. Ideally, I'd just want to keep the pulley driving the starter/generator.

you can remove the entire PTO and bearing and lock collar. the pulley that runs the starter gen belt is held on by a set screw. it isn't connected to the PTO in anyway. just remove the set screws from the PTO, knock it off, bearing, lock collar and your good!

I'd probably also remove the lever that contacts the PTO button, it would make a mess of the pulley if it came in contact while running.

+1 but if the clutch is in need of a rebuild and its just gonna be a plow tractor than why remove it at all? It wont hurt anything to just leave it on.

I've thought about removing a PTO clutch for a "dedicated" plow tractor, but then decided, you never know when you might want to put a generator, or tiller or whatever on it someday. So I've always rebuilt the PTO and put it back on--trying to keep the tractor complete. Also, is a re-sale concern.

I'd leave it on unless it's coming apart and needs to be removed for safety reasons.

Taking these parts of and selling them now may net you a few dollars, but when I come to buy this tractor from you when you upgrade to a different machine and I notice these parts missing, I may not want it at all and you may end up setting on a tractor that you no longer want or need.

This is also where the frustration begins for the next owner, it's irritating (to say the least) to buy a new to me tractor and have to scrounge parts from across the country just to make it work.

What's next, the grill, you really don't need that, don't really need the hood or grill shell either, draw bar, rear hood support, side panels, might as well take the pto lever out of the dash too, and the safety switches, points cover, battery hold down, now put an old boat seat on it and leave off the seat springs...

Do you also buy a new car or truck and start taking parts off of it that you don't think you'll need?

Many of us here are in this to buy/own an old piece of machinery, do a little work to it and make a nice running tractor that helps us get our outdoor work done. Then we do our best to make them look as nice as we can with what we have to work with. Not all are trailer Queens, some are just "old workers" and that's all they ever will be, but it's all about owning and using a great part of American history.

Sounds to me like you are wanting to start the process of building yet another old pos parts machine that will someday end up on the tin pile at your local scrap yard.

Default No clutch
I bought a 149 with no clutch, and I'm happy with it. I don't want a deck on my "tractor". I have a "mowing" machine.

Every one has different needs/wants.

And what if tomorrow comes and you decide you want a rototiller or snow thrower? I think the point trying to be made is that theres no harm in leaving the worn out clutch on. Its how stuff gets lost and if its ever sold will be something to new owner will have to track down, a tractor missing the pto clucth is an automatic 100 bucks off the asking price.

I think this is the best point. It doesn't hurt anything to just leave it on. I agree about stuff getting lost too.

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.
