Default 1811 Front PTO adjustment
Little help with PTO adjustment. Will the pto pulley turn freely when the airgap is set to correct clearance??

Either on the engine or off, once I set the airgap the pulley will not turn freely and I do not know if this is correct. I cannot find installation procedures in any of the manuals I have researched. I can only find adjustment procedures.

The pto did not work when I was given this engine and the airgap was about 1/4 inch, which I feel the previous owner ran into the same issue and adjusted out until the pulley would turn freely.

When I adjust the pto on the engine I cannot turn the engine by hand. Concerned to attempt to start the engine in this condition.

Any help appreciated, Non

Just for clarity: When you adjust the air gap on an electric PTO you are also adjusting the brake. So to answer your question, no, when it is adjusted correctly it should be hard or impossible to turn by hand with the engine and PTO off. It should not turn when it is off and the engine is on, and the brake should not drag when the PTO is running (engine on).

maybe I should simplify my question. when the pto is "removed from the engine"
or "installed on the engine" AND I set the airgap the pto pulley will not turn freely and barely with force. Also the engine is not installed "in the tractor". All I want to know is "is this correct (normal)"?

For Mac, as stated, I have all those diagrams but they do not answer my question.

When the PTO is on or off the engine, when set properly, it should NOT turn freely.

You may want to check that bearing also while you have it apart.

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.
