I noticed there was a lot of vibrating in the drive belt so I looked around and saw that the sealed high speed bearing in the front had about a 1/16 gap and lots of up and down movement. Well I found a replacement clutch off ebay, only $10.00 Everything looked good on it, but I just replaced the bearing, left everything else alone.
Since I've replaced the clutch bearing couple of things. At first I had hardly no power (couldn't pull out in 2nd or 3rd on level ground), I had way too much slack in the drive belt from the clutch to the engine. How much should there be? Do you tighten it correctly by moving the clutch support assembly up and down? I think that's part of my other problem. Now it seems like I have no brake (wheels keep trying to turn when I put on the brake), do I have the belt too tight? I'm sure there should probably be a little slack. The clutch rod also made one complete turn when I was pulling the clutch out, is there a good clutch FAQ on adjusting besides the manual? I just don't quite get all those adjustments. These are all pretty new to me. This original is my first and my first learning experience. |

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.
