Default Manual PTO

Does anyone know what size of hex key fits the 1/4-20 set screws and lock screws that hold the PTO on the bearing? Looking at buying a t handled hex key set and want to make sure I get the right one! Got a 129 and a 149 to work on. Not really looking forward to it!

Thanks in advance!

1/8"

Buy the best quality allen wrench you can find. Make sure the hex is clean so you can get full engagement of the allen wrench.

I use regular allen (hex) wrench and a small piece of tubing/pipe or a small adjustable wrench for leverage.

Properly assembled, there should be two set screws in each hole.

I don't know if they are the best quality, but I use allen wrenches from Rural King.

I get the ones out of the flat drawers, where they have all the odd stuff. They are around 49 cents each (cheap enough that you can afford to ruin them and not worry about it) and they are quite a bit longer than the average allen wrench.

I usually buy several of them at a time. When they start to round off, you can grind the bad part off, a little at a time (to keep them from getting too hot).

Like Jeff says, Make sure the hex in the set screws are as clean as you can get them and tap the wrench in as far as you can get it to go.

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.
