Clutch Teaser Spring Question????????
Been having clutch problems on my 1200. Basically no matter how you adjust the clutch, it doesn't want to release when you push the pedal. I had a local shop put a new throwout bearing in a month or so ago, and I recently replaced the clutch release rod.
(I've been having clutch-dragging problems since I got this tractor a while back - the original owner had the mechanical aptitude of the average chimpanzee, and I've been finding lots of things just flat put together wrong!) I noticed on my 1000 that, with the clutch pedal locked down, there is a visible gap between the friction disk and the pressure plates. On my 1200, when you push the pedal down, no gap appears. I pulled the shaft and clutch assembly out of the tractor tonight, and drove the front roll pin out that holds the forward pressure plate on. I am thinking that there should be some sort of spring in there to push the pressure plates apart when the clutch arm pulls the throwout bearing back. Is that the case? In the exploded views in the parts manual, the diagram makes it look like the teaser spring is between the clutch arm and spring spacer, but if that's the case I can't figure out what it does. Anyway, does the teaser spring go between the two pressure plates? Is its function to push the pressure plates apart to release the clutch?

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.
