Default Clutch plate refacing....

Since I did not replace my clutch on my 100 when I restored it. I have found out the hard way that it (the clutch) needs to be replaced. Not just some parts that could get you by, but all. And do what most people tell you, and dont take short cuts. IE pic below

I have a buddy that has a mini metal leath that will turn up to 3/4" OD pieces, problem is that the plates have an OD of 1"...I think. So, I have an idea to spin the faces and still use his shop. Can I take a bolt that is long enough and tight enough in the ID of the plate and bolt it tight to it. Would this work, or will it give way as the face is trued up?

Thoughts?

The shaft size is 5/8" so a bolt of that size will work allright. Make sure to use a washer on each side of the plate.

Don't use a bolt...chuck up a piece of 3/4" steel or something larger than 5/8", and turn (or file) a very slight taper on the shaft such that you can press the pressure plate onto the shaft, center drill the end so it can be supported with the tailstock, and then press the plate on and turn it. This will ensure that the pressure plate surface is reasonably close to perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the clutch. Use a bolt and questionable quality/accuracy may ensue.

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.
