129 PTO Clutch bearing question
On my 129, when installing a new bearing, guess I was too determined to get it to exactly flush with the end of the shaft. What happened was the end of the thin inner part of the bearing (a snap ring or part of the race?) started to poke out. I see by examining my old bearing that this inner part is not continuous but rather has about a 3/16" gap between both ends. So, I hammered it back in with a small screwdriver and sort of bent the end in over the key slot. The rest of it looks fine.
Leave it alone or won't it last that way? Sort of hate to take it out and get yet another new bearing. I already have the eccentric collar in place but won't go any further until I get some advice. Thanks...

A picture would help...Are you sure you are not talking about the snap ring in the bore of the PTO casting?

Hi Frank,
This is definitely a snap ring inside the bearing that I'm referring to. On the old one I can feel where there is the slightest lip on it and so apparently by pushing the bearing on the shaft a bit too aggressively, the shaft pushed against the snap ring and subsequently pushed the one end out of the groove. Here it is....in the pic it appears the end of the snap ring is definitely sticking out, but it really isn't being that the right side goes farther than what is being seen - goes all the way to the edge of the key slot. With probably 95% or more of the ring totally unaffected, I'm thinking there is probably no issue here (?) I still have my old bearing but sort of hate to put it back on. I've never had any problems before with any part of a bearing pushing out the way this ring did.

No issue with the snap ring. Carry on.

Works for me!!
 Can't help but wonder, though, if the new part was defective in some way? It looks, from my old one, that those snap rings are really in there tight. Wonder if there is any market on eBay for some of my old stuff - drive pulley hub with set screws, plus the bearing and collar. Guess I'll list them and see what happens. I can see already I overpaid for the new bearing and collar - around $35. Can be had on eBay for less.

Well, you just made me feel aLOT better (just kidding). Guess I should have checked my local NAPA store. Oh well...maybe make a few bucks back if I can sell the old one. If these bearings can be made without the snap ring, then what's the purpose of it?

The snap ring places the bearing on an exact location on the crank

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.
