Default Mechanical PTO Situation
I was reassembling the pto for my 149 and I can't get it to adjust down properly. The springs between the pressure plates compress completely preventing the adjustment. I think I remember it having two clutch discs but I'm not 100% sure (too many tractors). I came across a pto recently with two discs. This raises my question. Is this a way to solve my problem and allow me to adjust? I'm not familiar with this or if it is common practice. BTW, when the springs become totally compressed the adjusting tool is about a disc thickness away from correct adjustment.

Any and all will be appreciated.....Wayne

I've never seen more than one clutch disk in a PTO before. I have had pto's before, that for whatever reason, refuse to work properly when adjusting using the guage.

For those, I lightly finger tighten the jam nuts, until they feel even (in pressure) then I tighten the screws each the same amount of turns, stopping often to see "if it's there yet".
To check if it's tight enough, put the pto back into the basket and try to turn it by hand, if it "slips" then it isn't tight enough. When everything is tightened evenly and it will no longer slip then it's done. I really don't like doing them that way but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Good luck.

Now you see one!
But I don't know why.
I can't believe I just started a thread about the same thing.

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.
