Well, I may try that , but I found a gauge from one of our friendly online forum sponsors (I think) for all of $4, so that's a deal. I have to order some of those pointy set screws anyway.


I need to go buy some nuts too .. .. the ones on this thing are all buggered up.


I'll look at that shaft collar. You might be right about the source of that extra nut rattling around in there.
(edit: nope... fits neither the locking collar screw or the clutch bolts. )



Thanks Lew!

I have indeed studied that... thanks (I've not seen the one with the brake!) . Mine is the single spring job.

Update:


I found another PTO that I forgot I ordered ...oh, 10 yrs ago. It was sold as rebuilt (and looks to be). Long story short: I put it on and have the same result. The PTO clutch works as advertised when the engine is OFF but with the engine running, I cannot stop the pulley with the 2x4.

User ATHOMAS mentioned putting a strap around it when off and trying to start the engine. While I'm not Mister Safety, I may try this with great caution as I'm thinking that maybe what I'm seeing (other than the new clutch button being consumed ) might be that once the engine has started, there's so much rotational mass that it's unlikely to stop?

The downside is that I could take my head off when the bungee strap explodes....

It's unlikely that BOTH PTO's are bad in the same way, so there must be something else. Bearing is possible, but it sure feels OK . It doesn't spin free but feels like it's got grease inside and there's no wobble or grittiness.

Update: Applied bungee in such a way to freeze the pulley in place , then put the clutch lever so that the button was depressed. Took spark plug cable off and cranked it. Pulley stayed in place, and no barnyard noises. Put spark plug cable back on, started engine, and pulley stayed in place and PTO button(s) were stationary of course

So... with no load on the PTO pulley, there's so much rotational mass on that pulley that you'll set a 2x4 on fire before you'll stop it once the engine is running . ATHOMAS, you sir, win the Internet!

I'll reassemble the original PTO once the gauge gets here ($4) with the shiny new jam nuts

Got the gauge, cleaned and painted, made sure Lew's snap ring was in there and I've got a new spare for the Cub tub.

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.
