I just saw your post... OUCH!

I will be sure to quadruple check it. That's the last thing I need.

The adjustment seems pretty straightforward. What do you think you did wrong?

Got the solid mounts today. They look great Jeff, super quick delivery too!

Now I just need a free evening with no rain..

Thanks everyone for the advice and help. Hopefully I'll get to try out the Cub this weekend

Put the solid mounts in and got the right belt on. Took the 1200 out today and finally did some mowing with it. It did GREAT until the adjusting nut fell off the clutch rod

Finally the mower gods decided to shine upon me though because it was sitting on the mower deck. I couldn't believe it. I'm going to get a lock nut to put on this time. I think I might have had it a little too loose. Any other suggestions to avoid the nut falling off? If I can fit a second nut I plan on doing that too. Maybe some locktite?

Did you have a nylock nut on there? That or two thin nuts so you can jam nut them.

I used the old nut. It looks like it may have been a lock nut at one time. I'm going to get a new lock nut and try that out.

I have 3/8 -24 for the size. Does that sound right?

I used the old nut on my 1000 because it looked like it was spherical where it contacted the clutch throw out arm. Mine felt like it lost the locking feature so I put a second hex nut behind it. I haven't had a problem.

Put a new lock nut on and everything went great. Until.... it just stopped moving. Apparently the roll pin came out of the back of the driveshaft... lesson learned. Don't re-use roll pins. I foolishly reused it when I replaced the drive train. At least it was an easy fix.

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.
