Well.... this all makes a lot more sense. Sorry no one thought about it having a disconnect clutch.

Here is JeffinPa's parts thread. Click on his name, it will give you the option to send him a private message. A pic of one of the shafts he makes with prices is in post #6 of the linked thread. May not be yours, but that's a ballpark price.

Why are you so quick to remove the clutch? I ran one for years on my 1512 (same as your 782d). Outside of the pin breaking it worked fine. I removed it when I broke the fan blades off. The replacement fan was big $.

If it was me I would look into the problem. If it is something simple like a broken spiral pin, fix it. If it is something more get rid of it. Honestly I noticed little difference in the cold weather starting with or without the clutch.

CCspecialties is selling the complete kit for $165. Just another option.

Good luck.

+1 on tossing that sucker in the trash (or put it up on E-bay).

I think that was something that Cub came up with to try and get these things to start better. To me it looks like something else to throw the driveline out of balance. I remove every one I have.

Jeff does top notch work. You can also make your own if you don't have the funds but you will need the coupler on the back of the new drive shaft. I order my 4140 from McMaster for about $5 a foot.

Troubledjp, check every part in the driveline from the engine back. You probably have other parts that are worn also. Don't forget to post up some pics cause we like pics.

Good luck.

Because the design is junk. You also admit that you didn't notice any difference in it's starting ability with it. Also, you say you removed yours because the fan broke, but suggest the OP can get a new clutch.... well.... the fan is cheaper than a new clutch. FWIW, it looks to me like the only difference in the fan between this one and a one off a cyclops is the dish on the fan. I think the $17 cyclops fan would work.

Whoa, never thought about a disconnect clutch, can't say I have ever seen one in person. So without derailing the thread, how does it work, centrifugal like on an old school go-kart? I assume it was for easier starting in REALLY cold weather and therefore a regional thing?

Yes, it was centrifugal. Regional? Maybe.... it was an option. Anyone could get it. Seems now they are found randomly.

In post #5 the op said that the shaft and fan were spinning but not the yoke.

In post #7 he said he could turn the yoke by hand.

If the clutch is centrifugal, that explains why he can turn the yoke by hand.

I would verify that this pin is not sheared before opening a big can of worms.

Pretty sure he already verified that pin is there when he said the yoke isn't spinning. Yes, with the disconnect clutch, you should be able to turn the flex disk and yoke, but not the fan. Something in the clutch is broken. Unless I misunderstood the OP which is possible.....

Jon the fan is fastened to the housing and it will all spin together. The driveshaft itself is what the centrifugal weights are fastened to.

Yep. I agree. I see that now.

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.
