Agreed. If you don't have an implement attached (mower, tiller, snow thrower) leave the pto in the engaged position so it doesn't wear on the pto or wear button. I currently have my 147 on winter mode (snow blade) so the pto is "on" all the time.

Hello,
I have the pto off and the bearing is about .065(depth mic) from being flush with the shaft.Should I loosen the collar w/ lock nut and set screw first before tapping the bearing back?
Thanks for all your help.

If you don't loosen the collar, how do you think you'll be able to move the bearing?

Sorry,was running late for work when I posted this from home. I need to add that there appears to be a gap between the back of the bearing and the front of the collar.When I get home I will loosen everything up and start from scratch and go by the manual.Sorry to bother you matt with a stupid question.

When you get home and look at the bearing, there appears to be a gap between the collar and bearing, but it is just the way the bearing and collar are connected. You have to loosen the jam nut and set screw, then take a punch in the other hole (without threads) and back the collar off. I can't remember which way you drive the collar, but its in the manual.

The collar and bearing holes are offset from the bearing center and the collar center, so when the collar is tightened onto the bearing, the cam action makes sure that the bearing is locked on the shaft. There is no way in heck that you can move the bearing on the crank shaft without first loosening the collar.

This will be a good time to really feel of the bearing and make sure is is perfectly smooth. If not, replace it.

BTW, Now is a good time to make sure that your pulley basket is the correct distance form the end of the crank. It has a distance in the PTO section of the service manual. The distance depends upon the horsepower of your engine.

Have fun!

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.
