Default When good PTO's go bad (or ...how?)
I had the 106 out today, went thru the fuel system and got it running for the first time in a while and moving in the first time in a longer while. The creeper still works (yay!) and I fixed the clutch release mechanism which is the reason it was parked in the first place.

What I hadn't done in 2 years, was operate the PTO, which used to work fine.

The belts and deck are free and turn easily, but when I engage the PTO...nada zip, zero.

Are there some simple things to check to free up a PTO, or is it an R&R process? This tractor has been outside, but stored under cover, so it's not been rained on.

Thanks !
John

Did you leave the PTO disengaged while it was sitting? With the engine off, engage the PTO and lightly tap on the pulley with a hammer. It may pop free. Otherwise, tear it down.

It was indeed disengaged.......which appears to be the state it's stuck in.

Try hitting it up with PB blaster, then tap it with a hammer.

I had my 100 parked for several years with the clutch disengaged. The PTO triangular spring took a set and wouldn't work anymore. I replaced the spring, put it back together, and it worked fine. Now I always engage the PTO when I park the tractor, especially over winter.

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.
