Model 125 loose front starter pulley / PTO clutch issue???
My problem is this.....On my model 125 Cub Cadet, the large pulley on the front of the Kohler 12 HP motor shaft, which carries the belt to the starter/generator, will not maintain it's position on the motor shaft. The pulley is obviously keyed onto the motor shaft and so it turns just fine with the motor...but the problem is that it slides backward and forward a good half inch or more on the shaft creating a severe belt misalignment with the starter/generator pulley. The belt is continually being thrown off the pulleys, so my battery is not being charged while running, and I have to re mount the starter belt each time in order to restart the motor.
My question is.....Can I somehow secure the large pulley without having to remove the clutch assembly that sits in front of it? I see no obvious way to accomplish this, and so I turn to the forum experts for help. Note too that the frame obstructs the use of a puller tool, so removal of the clutch assembly may require the lifting of the motor to provide puller tool clearance. Whew, what an ordeal for what seems to be a simple issue. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. Jim

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.
