1200 - Looking for Clutch rebuild advice
I recently purchased a QL1200 on the cheap as I always wanted a stick shift. The complaint was it shook a lot even though it drove OK. I tore it down to find ISO joints that were mush (expected). However, about very clutch piece is hurting. The 3 finger driver is only a 2 finger, the clutch plate is hogged out where the missing finger was, the throw out bearing is coming apart, and the clutch fork is extremely wore. Pricing out the original replacement parts is a staggering total! Has anybody had luck rebuilding the 3 finger driver? Adding weld to the throw out fork and regrinding the profile? Using Zack Kerber parts & Jeff's solid mounts?

Should be able to replace the missing finger and bushing on the 3 pin driver if it is not cracked around the center spring plate. On edit: :Looks like there is something else missing from the center of the 3 pin driver as well.
The clutch throw out lever can be resurfaced with no problems as well as the clutch plates themselves. Other than that you will have to buy the clutch disc, throw out bearing and driveshaft if it is gouged and worn from the spring riding on it. Oh yes, and the bearing surfaces in the clutch lever hanger and throw out lever may need attention as well. Many of these gear drive Cubs have really been abused Good luck! |

Good catch. The shaft bushing was still in the engine.

The 3 pin driver for the Quietlines have a flex plate in the center that allowed for engine movement because of the ISO setup.
That flex plate usually ends up cracking after the ISO mounts go bad due to excessive engine movement. If you are going with solid mounts you won't have any engine movement, therefore you can use the solid 3 pin driver for non-ISO Cubs. They are much cheaper and more available. You can find them used and new easily on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/27520219558...MAAOSwGHJiKJiP https://www.ebay.com/itm/27503122218...gAAOSw6HhhlPMy https://www.ebay.com/itm/25548037061...8AAOSw4lZiUfI9 https://www.ebay.com/itm/28476760468...sAAOSwpr1iWXFZ |

I decided to go solid mount and solid disc. There is just the slightest bit of vibration. It wouldn't stop me from going this way again.

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.
