What a rag

Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to look at my thread. This thread originally started as an attempt to fix the clutch on my 1976 1200 but soon turned into an attempt to compile as much information as possible for anyone servicing their Quietline series tractor. Best thing to do is go to the last page and check out the index. That will lead you to a variety of helpful information.

Also, let's make sure that this site continues to be here for us and for future generations of Cub enthusiasts. Click the "Donate" button and cross the palm of the man that makes this possible. Do it!


OK, so here it is, my first International Cub Cadet. It’s a 1200. I never really went looking for one, it was just kind of there, on my way to work one day, so I bought it. From a guy who owns a local small engine repair shop, it was his tractor and he had it for years, or so they say, you know how the story goes…

Sure I got one of those Cub Cadets they sell at Home Depot but that’s a different story.

From what I can see from the serial number it’s a ’76, what a great year!, just like my F250 4 x 4 highboy and my F-600.

And what a great time I’ve been having pushing snow

Until today,

Sudden stop and parts on the ground, one ball bearing and three lock washers. After getting it in the shed and pullin’ off the cover I am suddenly enlightened as to the reason for my new found inability to move in either the forwards or backwards directions. Los jointus de la ragus has shitus las bedus, or for those of you not quite so well versed in Spanglish, the flex disc coupler joint headed south for the winter, which is what I should have done! What the heck am I still doing in Massachusetts, and I guess you Midwestern boys aren’t getting’ much better weather, so here we go…

Any help from you all such as part numbers, suppliers etc.. would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously I’ll need a new Rag joint…

It looks to me that there is a bushing of sorts inside the transmission input shaft yoke and if you can see from my picture it looks to have a bit of damage, so if that is a wear item I guess that should be added to the list.

Great pic, thanks. That pic has several of my favorite things, truck, gun, dead varmit, happy boy growing up the right way, trees and no houses close. It only needed a cub, pretty girl and maybe a 1256 to be complete!
