Default 1000 Clutch Work
I got everything together I need to rebuild the clutch in my 1000. My brother had the tractor for a few years and it came back in sorry shape. He is a threat to all things mechanical. The throwout bearing locked up and he didn't let that stop him. I cringe when I think what it must have sounded like every time he put the clutch in.

I did a band-aid repair a couple of years ago to get it going so I could use it around the house. I put used parts in it to get my by. Now it's time to do it right. Upon disassembly and inspection I found the following damaged:
  • Driveshaft was worn and had steps in it that prevented the T/O bearing from going forward fully
  • Clutch lever was worn bad
  • Hanger bracket holes were oblong
  • Hanger pin was severely worn
  • Clutch disc was delaminating

I bought the following new parts:
  • Driveshaft
  • T/O Bearing
  • Hanger bracket
  • Hanger pin
  • 3/8" sproil pins
  • 1/4" sproil pins
  • Teaser spring
  • Teaser spring cup
  • T/O Bearing
  • Lubricating bushing
  • Pair of spherical bushings
  • Rag joint

Yesterday I did some machining and prep work. The clutch goes in today

First, I pulled the old 3/8" pins out of the clutch driver and pressed in new ones.



A friend loaned me a slide hammer he made from vice grips. It was exactly what I needed to pull the pins. QL drive plates have blind holes because the flex plate is solid and riveted to the back.



I visited another friend that has a lathe to work on the pressure plates. The PP with the slot in it had a worn slot so I went with an old one I picked up years ago. It was pitted and had lines cut in it. I cleaned it up on the lathe:

Starting out:


Getting closer:


That's more like it:


Despite what it looked like when I started it cleaned up well.

I took the steering column out and cleaned up the steering adjustment screw:



That pin is hard! I dulled the tool on the lathe before I figured that out. I finished it by spinning the screw in the lathe and using an angle grinder. It worked great.

Today the clutch gets assembled and goes in the tractor.

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.
