Are you talking about a cotter pin? That goes through a castellated nut and over the spindle? Nothing on a "car" bends over the "axle and the rotor" to hold an "axle" on a "car"..... If your not talking about a cotter pin, I have no idea what you are referencing.

No... this pulley only has set screws. Remove them, and use a puller like suggested. Might need some heat too. And not from a wimpy propane torch. From an acetylene torch. HOT, HOT, HOT!

I'd be more worried that too much would super heat the shaft.... which would defeat the purpose.

When I said HOT, I was referring to the torch. Piddly little propane torch doesn't get hot enough. An acetylene torch gets HOT, HOT, HOT!

But you are correct. Don't overheat it..... fine line, that only experience can determine. But I doubt it comes off without some heat.

I have not had a chance to get much further with the disassembly as other projects have come up. I had a thought though that I wanted to bounce off of everyone. The tiller has a plug screw at the top of the gear box. You can unscrew it and see inside (though you can't see much). Would it be worth a shot to try and put some oil or lubricant into the gear box? Could the gears or chains be seized up because of rust and just not turning?

That I can ever recall, the 1A didn't roll out of the factory with a "plug screw". Either what you see is not what you think it is, or someone has added a lube hole.


If it is a plug to get to the chain, then I don't suppose it will hurt anything. Maybe you should post a pic of it just to be sure it is what you think it is.

If it is froze up from rust, I'd suggest Kroil, or MMO.

So just spray it in and let it sit? Or would it be worth to actually get some oil and poor it in?

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.
