If you just press on the edge, it will deflect..... normal.

Focus on the things I told you to check.

I did those before you even asked. I'm using the correct thrust button. I've got the compression springs on the screws just in front of the back plate, where they belong. The bearing is flush with the end of the crankshaft, and there is no shine on it. There is no shine on the rear of the tension springs.

I dont think its even possible to put the pulley on the crank too far, because it stops when it hits the bearing and the bearing is on the end of the crankshaft where it should be.

But I have to wait until at least Tuesday when I get a starter bracket to run it again

Then either you didn't use the tool correctly, or didn't adjust the engagement rod correctly. Like I said, pretty simple set up.

I probably am reading this different than what you mean but just to be sure, do you have the springs between the plate and the pulley, like this?? These are pics of a non-brake PTO but they work the same.

Welp I got my new starter bracket and redid the clutch yet again, and everything seems to be working normally. Mowed for almost an hour today and the clutch and brake work as they should. It took a while but my expenses were minimal except for the place that charged me $12 for shipping on 2 wave washers.

Thanks for Ironman and several others for their encouragement and help, and thanks to the others for thinking I'm too dumb to do it.

Wayne, glad it’s working for you. Were you able to determine what was causing the problem?

I think the most likely cause is that the spring plates were permanently deformed and had lost their spring. They remained concave when I took the old ones off. So the last time I used the brake, the plates probably remained depressed and didn't spring back so the pulley wouldnt turn after that. Make sense?

Law of physics. Nothing to keep it turning once its not engaged. Plus the blades and belt help slow it down

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.
