126 Clutch Replacement Question
Okay, so Im NEW at this....
I had a clutch issue on a 126 where sometimes the clutch would disengage and sometimes it wouldn't. Starting off, I am so new I didnt really know how to GET to the clutch (LOL). After taking the deck off and pulling off the bottom plate I can at least to begin to understand it's operation. After playing with it, I found that there's something called a "teaser spring" which is broken. Sometimes it "binds" the clutch disc so it doesn't release...and sometimes not. The solution, obviously, is to replace the teaser spring. I decided to order a complete new assembly. Heres my two questions: . -1) I notice the front of the clutch shaft wobbles a little where it mates with the engine. Is there the equivalent of an "input shaft bushing" (that's what its called on a car) that can be changed? If so, what's the best way to remove the old bushing? . -2) Is there a way to change the clutch without removing the engine (if Im not changing that bushing? Can I just slide it back a little? Can I get the engine out without removing front grille frame? . Just trying to do it the right way instead of the hard way. Being new, I realize this comes apart differently than a car or pickup truck. Thanks

Removing the grill will make everything much easier
Remove the engine to do it right. You will then be able to clean everything up and begin your repair properly. It will not slide forward because of the deep sump oil pan will no allow that with out at least picking it up. Inspect the drive line closely to determine just what is needed before ordering parts. Replace the teaser spring (a 5$ item) no need to replace everything else unless there are issues with the rest of the drivetrain such as clutch disc, driveshaft itself, throw out bearing, main spring, one or all 5 of the spirol pins and the rear coupler. And yes there is a bushing inside the 3 pin driver, also an easy find at your local auto parts store. CCS up top will have everything you need for this rehab. Good luck!

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.
