Alright guys it's up and running under its own power but there's an issue, clutch isn't disengaging to put it into gear, plates and disc keep spinning, but if I try anyway to put it into gear it will pop in with almost no grinding then they stop turning, any ideas?

The Kevlar clutch in my 108 did that till I got some hours on it. How much free travel do you have?

It seems to have enough free play, I adjusted it and now the plates and shaft just about stop, but disc still spins, shifts into gear without grinding, I'll check it later and report back, seemed like it slipped alittle too, but I have since adjusted it.

It's not about having enough free travel it's about having to much. More free travel means less movement on the throw out bearing when you push the pedal down which means less release on the clutch, this might be where your problem is. I've never checked the manual to see how much free travel they recommend but adjusting a clutch isn't exactly rocket science, as long as you have enough free travel to keep the arm from riding on the bearing you should be good. I set mine to between an 1/8" and 1/4" of free travel.

If the clutch isn't fully releasing like you say I highly doubt it's slipping unless you have the shaft assembled wrong, I would adjust the free travel and take it for a spin.

Thanks for the help, i'll check it out later and post back, it seemed better last night after i adjusted it after thinking it was slipping so hopefully its fine, at first it seemed like too much free travel, disc still turns but the rest seems good, shaft looks assembled correctly.

Nick, if the hitch is too high, and you roll back on the wheelie bars, you will lose traction and spin out. The wheelie bars are just so the tractor doesn't tip over. If the wheelie tires are rolling all the time, you're rolling back too far.

It doesn't matter what kind of sled it is, application is the same.

This is why I don't comment on your threads much. You don't listen.

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.
