Cub Cadet 582 PTO Clutch - Troubleshooting
Guys, needing help on my Cub Cadet 582 again. I am in the process of reworking it, I got a rebuilt Briggs opposed twin and have it installed and it runs fine. However the PTO clutch does not function (nothing happens when flipping the switch). I need some help.
1. The book states that the "air gap" on the clutch needs to be adjusted to within .010 - .015 of an inch with a feeler gauge. There appears to be way too much drag when tightening the brake flange down anywhere near that. It would be so tight that I couldn't turn it by hand. I am not sure if that is how it is supposed to be or not, but I didn't want to damage anything by over tightening it. 2. How is the seat switch supposed to operate in relation to the PTO? I am not sure if the seat switch is supposed to kill the motor or just the PTO when it is disengaged. Mine seat switch doesn't seem to be doing anything. The motor stays running with it disengaged, and the PTO doesn't operate in either position. 3. I am assuming that there should be voltage on the PTO wire when the switch is engaged ? That is what I will test next. If there is not any voltage on the wire, can I just bypass the switch to wire to the battery as a test to see if the switch is faulty? Any other ways to troubleshoot? I have heard that some alternators don't put out enough voltage for the switch so hopefully that is not an issue. Any other thoughts welcome.

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.
