Nice write up Chris. I wish I'd had that keyway trick up my sleeve when I pulled my PTO.

Great post and a sweet looking repair. What else would we expect from a sugarmaker. As I recall the front seal on my command 20 was leaking and was loose in the hole enough to move in and out too. The new one fit kind of tight so I suspect when they wear down or wear out they not only get loose around the shaft but also loose on the outside too enough to allow it to move around. Thanks for the step by step illustrations. As most folks were not there when it was assembled things as simple as this can get really frustrating.

Good work Chris, that 86 cleaned up very well, that pto bolt looked like a pita but it wasn't.

Now about that pto rod...
Lew,
What about the PTO rod? Did I miss something?

Eric,
The seal needed to be tapped in. Felt like a good fit? I did not think about any type of locking adhesive on the outside. That is a good suggestion. Well time will tell. I am not pulling it at this time

Chris

I'm wondering why your old seal had so much movement? I'm assuming the new one is ok and tighter? Btw, what length belt did you get?
Alvy,
The old seal came completely out of the block and was rattling around on the crank shaft. Lots of oil as you can see! Someone thought the seal came out due to overheating, like mouse nest in shroud? I did not take the fan shroud off but blew air into and around the cooling head fins. Looked clean and open. This tractor had set for a long time with a stuck clutch. When we brought it home it went to plowing a lot of snow right away. I think the seal just dried out over years and was pushed out when the engine got worked hard?

Belt size? Not sure Napa matched the numbers on the old belt and it fit. The number is in one of the pictures. Length usually is part of the number code.
Regards,
Chris

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.
