Default K301 grass screen
I have the engine out of my 125 now. Step 4 on page 1-11 of the IH Cub Cadet shop manual and page 10.3 of the Kohler K-series shop manual says to remove grass screen with no specifics. Is the nut that holds the flywheel on also hold the small pulley and grass screen on? It’s a 15/16” nut and I didn’t bring my big 1/2” drive impact home today, so I can’t get it off anyway.

yes
If you remove the 4 screws that hold the screen to the pully/adaptor, which is made of aluminum, you run the risk of breaking the screws off.

If you remove the ass'y by taking off the nut on the end of the crankshaft you will have to re-torque it when reinstalling which means having to hold the crank from turning while you do that.

So is it safe to use a three jaw puller to remove the pulley and grass screen together?

I never have used a puller on one.
It is held on by the nut or bolt on the end of the crank shaft, depending on which model you have.

Be advised there is a steel locating pin in the flywheel that inserts into the aluminum pully that will more than likely be corroded and stuck.

Be careful not to get too violent with this as you may break out the area of the aluminum pulley that it sets in.

What’s the best way to remove the pulley and grass screen? The blower housing is captured by the grass screen on mine.

I know lots of guys beat and pry to get the fly wheel off. Been known to
do it myself on occasion. Now I have a fly wheel puller. They are relatively
inexpensive and make pulling it a whole lot easier. I would recommend a trip
to the auto parts store or Amazon or somewhere and get a Flywheel
puller. One time purchase and you will have it for lots of projects.

I agree.

I have to get the pulley and grass screen off before I can get the blower housing off, then I’ll pull the flywheel. What is the best way to get the pulley and grass screen off?

You need to pull the flywheel.

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.
