1864 clutch issue
Hi guys, newbie here
Got an 1864 with 18 HP Kohler Command and 54 in deck, almost 900 hours. I have an issue that has arose in the last month or so. The Blades have been being very difficult to engage. At first they would kick on fine at first when mower was cold but if I disengage after operation and tried to re-engage they wouldn't After about a 5-10 second delay they would finally engage. Now lately they have been reluctant to engage at all and when they do the battery light comes on. Last time PTO would only stay engaged for a minute then kick off. Finally got it to stay on long enough to mow but light stayed on whole time. Well, battery was 7 years old so I just replaced it, tried it tonight to test and kicked on fine, ran them for about 30 seconds then turned off and back on and battery light came on, so it is not fixed. Also, the front pan is wet with oil pretty bad. So I ordered a new front seal and I plan on replacing it and cleaning the clutch. Anyone seen this before or got an idea. My thought is maybe some oil got in the clutch and has fouled things up like causing it to short and draw too much juice, or maybe it is the charging system. Anyway, thanks for reading and any ideas are appreciated. Thanks again!!

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.
