Default Update on Cub 70

Having had the cub 70 for a couple months now and haven’t posted anything in about a month, thought I would post couple pics after I took deck off and cleaned it up some. Looks like besides the clutch repair I asked about earlier, the throttle cable needs replacing. That’s about it. Probably replace the original tires. I’m afraid every rough spot I hit,ones going to blow. Got to come up with best way to compress clutch spring when I get ready to fix it, which want be long now. Well, looks like I got to review how to post pictures.

Tube the tires if they leak. Otherwise, don't worry about it. You'd be surprised how many tractors still have the original tires. If they rot to the point the nylon chords show... then worry about it.

Compressing the clutch spring is easy if you do it in the tractor. You simply put the spring and throwout bearing on the shaft and then put the throwout arm on and clamp a pair of vise grips to the bottom of it, then you can easily compress the spring with one hand and use the other to guide the clutch rod through the hole in the arm and put the nut on. Once the nut is on you can lock the clutch pedal down and then tighten the nut until both holes are exposed in the shaft, once you've done that you can use a jack stand or block of wood to support the shaft while you drive the pins in.

Going to try pictures again. Maybe I finally figured out how to post pictures again. Maybe this will give you idea what it looks like. It actually cleaned up good. I haven't had to add air to any of the tires in the 2 months I've had it. Got some tred peeling off the front tires, but not leaking. Just been riding it around in the field checking things out. Not smoking. Right now, still looks like clutch is biggest issue. Been reading up on here how to do that on here and from what you have told me, it doesn't look to be to hard to do. My 14 year old grandson wants to help me. He actually was who talked me into buying the tractor.

Looks better than mine. Does your deck have the baffles still?

Yes, it has the baffles although one is not in the best of shape. I been reading on here and researching the clutch. What exactly does the teaser spring do? Couple places talk like its an option to use or not. I know it's broke. The clutch doesn't slip at all. Just makes noise first when first pushing on pedal. If I'm not going to restore it right now, and just use it like is, what would you do.....remove and see what all clutch needs and repair, or use it like is until it starts slipping. One thing about it, there's no in between, it's either engaged or not. When letting out on pedal, if not careful it will flip you backwards off the seat.

The teaser spring allows you to slip the clutch, when it's broke it will do as you describe.

I kind of look at the teaser spring in this respect (others may have a different perspective)

that being when the drive disc and the clutch disc are apart (meaning disengaged), the fiber clutch disc is free to float around in that small area between the other two discs.
Without the teaser spring the fiber disc will most likely wobble and flop around, thus making erratic contact with one or the other of the discs on either side.
The teaser spring, when unbroken and doing it's job, nudges the fiber disc to one side and keeps the gap between all the discs equalized.
I have read about, and have successfully replaced the teaser spring with a steel spacer and a 5/8" lock washer.

What he said, but if you are going thru the trouble to replace it why not use the correct $4.61 part?

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.
