Front PTO's
A while back I took a long weekend in Fl. and on a rainy afternoon went to an indoor flea market. A guy was there selling a bunch of lawnmower stuff ..... engine parts, blades, tires, etc. I bought 2 PTO's (complete) for 10 bucks each that look to be in nice shape. Not wanting to lug them around 3 different airports I mailed them home and just opened the box yesterday. One of them has 2 friction discs in it. Has anyone heard of doing this before? Is it a screwed up way to compensate for weak springs or is there some kind of benefit to it that some old timer knew about?

The 149 and 169 had problems eating up PTO clutch because of the power the motor made. The double disc fix the problem. I think Cub Cadet change the material in the clutch disc. My 149 only uses one disc in the PTO.

That is ironic how you posted a question similar to mine at almost the same time. What Merk says makes sense. The torque thrown out by these bigger engines is a bunch. I am still stumped as to why the ability to adjust is not there using one disc. I understand they act as spacers as well as adding strength and can't spin independently because of the basket. I wonder if IH offered longer springs (the 3 between the pressure plates) for this application and that's what I have now. This pto will not work with one disc. I guess it could be the work of a po changing out the springs too with ones a tad longer.

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.
