Fish around in there w/something sharp. Maybe there is crud etc. stuck in the head, then blow it out good.

I dug around a little with a small piece of copper wire I had laying around, but will get in there better with a small punch or something.

So...as I was riding the 123 back into its cubby, I noticed that the PTO was spinning like a top. Maybe the PO kept tightening the turnbuckle (just like on yours drglinski) to compensate for the missing PTO button and bent the spring in? Or maybe it was getting there, and my monkeying around with it finally did it in?

Was thinking maybe a pick of an awl, something sharp and strong enough to nit just curl up. The extra 1/32" or 1/16 " you might gain jus may do the trick.
Make sure your allen wrenches are fully bottoming is what I mean.

At least with the 1st ones out you will have a place for the penetrant to puddle while it does it's thing

I bought a set of these last week. Currently $1.99. Disposable at that price. Feel free to abuse.

Another word of advice is don't use the Allen's that have the ball at the bottom that is supposedly the size. I use a t handle set but ground off the ball portion because they will snap off instantly.

You'll notice that you might be able to break it free easily enough but it will get tighter and bind up on it's way out. Don't just keep spinning it, spin it out a little then back in numerous times when it gets that way. Also agree with what's said before, clean them out as much as you can, good luck

I ordered the rebuild kit and some extra set screws just in case. The PTO runs with the mower belt unattached, but will not turn at all with the belt on. Just wondering if this could indicate what the problem is?

If the springs are weak or if the fiber disk is worn thin it could do that.

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.
