Default 149 Shaft Coupler Arm
I have a 149 and I am in the process of replacing the drive shaft and both coupler arms and I am having trouble removing the roll pin from the rear coupler arm. I have tried blaster penetrating oil and a small press and still can't get the pin out. I really don't want to apply heat if I can get away with it. I know there is a lot of valuable information in this forum and all help would be appreciated. Thanks for all your input, Mike.

Yes I have but I am afraid if I hit it too hard I will bend the shaft or damage the hydro

I just removed one of these couplings earlier today to install a new hydro fan. I sprayed it with PB blaster and let it set a few hours, I then went back an put an old socket under the coupler to give the pin a place to go and used a small drift punch to knock it out. Worked like a charm.

It is best if you support the shaft with something like a hydraulic jack or other solid supporting device, then you can hit it hard enough without causing any damage.

Guess I should have mentioned that I removed my drive shaft at the flex discs and did it on the bench. Definitely support the shaft if it's still on the tractor

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.
