Clutch question on a narrow frame
I have a question about the spacing of the clutch on a 100. The current spacing on the clutch seems a bit wide to me. The friction disk is out near the end of the drive pins & that looks like it may cause more stress than is necessary. The drive shaft isn't all the way into the pilot bushing on the motor either. I'm curious if this is normal or not.
If it's not normal, I could probably close up the gap a little with a shaft coupling that is slightly longer than the old one. The current coupling needs to be replaced anyway. The ID is wallowed out past .65". If I'm going to make an adjustment to that part, now would seem to be the time. Alternately, I could slot the motor mounting holes on the frame and move the motor back about 1/4", but that's a change that I can't undo, so I would prefer to avoid it. Below is a picture of how it sat just before disassembly. It's apart now. I would appreciate any insight that others can provide. Thanks, Jim

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.
