If the holes are not prefectly clean, you stand the risk of stripping out the set screws as well as the scocket. Soak with PB, use a .30cal. boar brush on a drillmotor and clean them out. As a matter of fact, I let each hole soak for 3 days, since I was in no super need of it.

I'm in the same hell here. Got one of the 3 sets of screws out but the other 2 are giving me fits! Thankfully I had to stop and start up the Big Green Egg just about the time my temper was getting to me...and the fumes from the burning PB Blaster. Waited for it to cool down a bit turned it til one of the holes was verticle and filled it PB. Try again in a day or so, I have plenty of time as this is my new-to-me engine that I will be rebuilding this summer.

I did get some good seat time today, my 4 y/o and I drove thru town pulling a trailer full of brush to the village brush pile, the whole ride we both were grinning ear to ear!

I am now in the same position. Stripped set screws. What is the deal with using the puller? Won't it pull the bearing and locking collar off as well?

Yes it will.You will have to remove the thrust button and the fingers to use a puller, basically you have to bend the fingers back and destroy them in the process.I just took one off and they used locktite on the 3 bottom screws.

Default I hate my PTO!

GUYS!! FYI, the set screws are hardened. IF you decide to try to drill them, use a carbide bit (read expensive) and use a lower speed than a 1/4 in. drill runs at. If you can find a small enough diameter cement/concrete drill, with patience this may work but the carbide used to make this type of drill is INFERIOR to a true carbide drill. Using normal drill bits will quickly empty your pocketbooks, frustrate the h**l out of you, and not do much to remove the set screws.

Just my 2 cents. This is from a retired tool maker.

Happy Cubbing!!

So when the guy used the Red Wrench on the set screw, did he "de-harden" them which allowed him to drill out the piece?

In orger to "de-harden" the set screws, which are in by the end of the crankshaft, he would have had to heat the ENTIRE
PTO, bearing and the end of the crankshaft, cherry red and then draw down the temperature very slowly...no I don't believe so.

Happy Cubbing!!

Why on earth would someone use thread locker on those particular screws. I presume that is why they doubled up on screws.

The other day I was trying to remove a broken bolt on my 1922 Southbend lathe. Went to drill the bolt so I could use a easy out and I got lucky. The drill bit just screwed the bolt right thru the part.
So I decided to buy a set of left hand drill bits to keep with the easy out set. It may just save me some work. Maybe it will back out a broken bolt or stuck set screw.

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.
