Default 125 pto

My PTO on my 125 slips so I am trying to get it off to rebuild it. I have the set screws loose but it won't budge. Am I missing something?

There are two sets of set screws. Three holes; two in each hole. Did you get both sets out? They need to come all the way out. If they don't want to budge try some PB blaster (or equivalent) down the holes first. Once you get them out, the PTO will come off straight. Normally the PTO doesn't like to fall right out; I've had to nudge mine along on the points side of the engine with a hammer/punch- an old hammer handle as a punch where the belt goes- tap a bit, rotate the engine, repeat.

Take your time, be patient. Plenty of PB Blaster type oil. If you get one to bust loose, only to have it stick again, apply more oil and drive the screw in and out. Do what it takes to keep from having to drill those out. I'm a fairly decent wrench, and I managed to ruin my first PTO.

make sure your using an allen wrench that is "fresh" on the business end.
Sometimes I will grind the end off until the wrench is "new" all the way to the business end.
Using a worn allen wrench in the tiny set screws is inviting the likelihood of rounding out the hex socket in the set screws.

thanks guy's. I had to use all of the tricks plus one of my own.
the first set screw in each hole would come loose but then stick at the top of the thread so I tool a 5/16th drill bit and drilled out that thread and was able to get the screws out and the clutch off. I am going to take it apart this afternoon. the fiber friction disc doesn't look worn to much so I figure to try adjusting it and see what happens.

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.
