Default clutch reinstall questions

Hello I am in the process of rebuilding my cub cadet 100. I have completley took every nut and bolt apart and stripped and painted it. im in the reassemble stages. I was in the process of putting the clutch back together and ran into a problem. when you push down on the clutch/brake pedal the clutch lever hits the steering box. it dont push on the clutch bearing enough for the teaser spring to release. so I took it all back out and turned the clutch bearing around so the little bump out is facing the back of the tractor. now the clutch lever contacts the bearing and releases the teaser spring like its suppose to. but I dont know if this is right? I thought the bearing is suppose to have the bump out facing the front? any help you can offer on this would be great. thanks.

The bump out on the throwout bearing should be facing the front of the tractor, or the motor, like you had it originally. Did you adjust the clutch linkage? On my 108 the clucth/brake pedal is supposed to have a free movement of approximately 9/32 of an inch.

Pictures might help with this. I can't figure out why it would be doing this.

ok here you go. the first pic is with the pedal not pushed and the second is with it pushed down. you can see the lever is hitting the steering and its barely pushing the bearing. the teaser spring is not even uncompressed to let the clutch seperate. this is with the bearing facing forward like its suppose to.

It looks like it is just barely catching the edge. Do you think the arm or mount maybe a bit tweaked? Also when putting my steering shaft back onto my 128 I noticed it has some room for movement. I wonder if you can loosen the shaft housing and try to move it over a bit?

I have thought if that also. I thought about shaving the arm where it hits but it still would not be enough to push the bearing enough. I also tried to move it over a bit but then it dont line up with the motor. I really appreciate all your thoughts.

Did you replace anything with new or new to you parts? shaft, steering box? I am not very familiar with a 100, and don't know if its safe for me to compare to my 104 setup in similarity. Hope I can offer help, but unsure.

Is the top throwout arm pivot mount made with an offset? If so, would it help to flip it over? I think The entire driveline on my 104 is offset to one side, and steering box is offset to other side for clearance.

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.
