Slipping PTO Clutch?
C/C 2145
How do PTO clutches fail? Do they start slipping (like mine) or they fail immediately? How much current (amps) do they draw? Perhaps my aftermarket switch and wiring is too light? When I get in deep grass, I can hear the blades slow. I don't think it's the belts, don't smell burning rubber. Is there a repair or just replace?

Just my 2 cents but I have never seen an electric powered PTO slip. If you have enough amp's going to it and it's not contaminated with oil it should work. I guess it could be worn out but I have never seen that issue.

I have seen them slip when the front crankshaft seal leaks and oil gets on the clutch. If you suspect this, spray aerosol brake cleaner on the clutch while it's disengaged and then hit the high grass again and see what happens.
I also just happen to have one that doesn't engage as forcefully as other electric clutches on an 1864. No oil on it( used to have) but it just doesn't jerk into engagement like others. I think the coil on the clutch is somehow weak but it still cuts grass just fine so I'm not going looking for trouble.

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.
