Clutch trouble?
Hi. I am a new member and this is my first post.
I recently acquired a model 106 Cub Cadet. I also got a 42" mower deck. It is in good shape and was well cared for. When I brought it home I drove it all over the place (2.5 acres), running it through all the gears. It performed well on level ground and on my hilly places. I put the mower deck on and tried mowing with it. It worked well. I mowed a few strips--about 100 lineal feet. When I went to put it away, it stopped moving as I was backing it into the barn. Since then I can get it to move in first and reverse, but not up a grade and not with any power. When I let off the clutch it begins to move and then stops. If I rest my foot slightly on the clutch pedal I can coax it to move. There was a lot of slop in the clutch release lever so I adjusted it (tightened) and was able to get a little better performance--sometimes. I can't see anything obviously wrong. The driveshaft turns, but the tractor doesn't move like it should. Any advice? Is this a clutch problem or a transmission problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

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.
