Default 1200 Clutch Flex Disk
Hey guys, this may be the cheap side of me talking here. Has anyone sucessfully rebuilt a flex plate? I mean found the right spring steel plate and attached it back on the 3 stud plate, then drilled the proper holes to bolt to the flywheel? I know the new ones are around $120.00, just trying to save money and possibly make it stronger than an oem. Probably a waste of time, just wonderin. Thanks, TB

You mean pressure plate? Or are you talking about the clutch disk? There is no "flex plate" in a clutch. I have no idea what you are talking about, or where you got that price.....

You can buy a complete clutch assembly rebuilt from Mark Hellrung (Yosemitesam, or the yellow sponsor at the top of the page) for $175.

Yes, the 3 pin drive plate. I also have seen it called a flex plate/disk. Im referring to the the thin flexable metal that is riveted to the backside of it, the part that bolts to the flywheel cup. Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. Thanks, TB

Am I missing something? A three pin driver doesn't have anything riveted to it.... I have several laying around. Did someone already "repair" the one you have?

The flex style 3 pin driver has a thin spring steel plate riveted to the back side of it. The solid 3 pin drivers do not. Apparently thats why they break so easy. Here is my pathetic excuse for a flex style 3 pin driver lol. Thanks, J mech, I did visit Mr. Hellrungs site. Not a bad price for the clutch setup. Thanks, TB

The quiet line 3 speeds had a 3 pin driver that would flex with the ISO bushings to keep the drive line from binding. I fixed that problem by installing solid engine mounts and using a standard 3 pin driver on my nephew's 1200.

Thanks DX, I may go to that configuration in the future. For now, I am going to stick with the rubber mounts. Thanks, TB

I completely forgot the QL's had that stupid driver...... and I have a 1000.
Wonder if you could use a regular driver anyway?
TB, I'll look and see if I have the one off my 1000. Motor is out now getting rebuilt, and I'm going solid mounts. So, I for sure am not putting that junk driver back in. If it's any good, I'll let you know.

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.
