Default Clutch issue

Ok let's first say I've been messing with cadets since 1968. I've owned well over 50 of all different models and I always have done my own work. A few years back I liquidated all my cadets. Recently I picked up a little model 73 and my drive shaft won't stop when it's in neutral.
Here's what I've seen and done.
The clutch plates are clean a flat, the clutch disc looks almost new, the drive plate bearing is clean and greased. The drive plate pins are hardly worn, the teaser spring and throw out bearing are very good and turn freely when not engaged. I drilled a hole in each pressure plate to relieve and air pressure issue.
It seems that it comes down the the anti rattle springs are holding the clutch disc to the drive plate and causing the issue.. Without the springs there is no issue. Without the springs of course I get the rattle of the clutch disc.
Before I pull the entire driveshaft and clutch assembly out any ideas?
Thanks

Is it possible that your drive plate/three pin driver is warped? If the spirol pins are not true to the holes in the friction disc this could result in some parasitic drag. Especially if all the parts are new and have not had a chance to 'wear in'.

I think you mean that it still won't stop when you press the clutch pedal in? It will still spin in neutral

Yes. It spins when the clutch is depressed.

Removed two anti rattle springs and left one. Works fine no disc chatter and the driveshaft is no longer spinning while the clutch is depressed.
Issue resolved.

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.
