Is it possible to change out the teaser spring on a 126 without disaasembling the whole clutch? I'm new at this. Seems to me that if I pull the engine, the shaft could remain in place and the spring could remain assembled and under tension (maybe I should even depress the clutch pedal to give my self more "room")? seems to me I could then just drive out the pins holding the two pressure plates, slide off the plates, then change the spring and re-assemble. I will also be changing the self-aligning bushing (pilot bushing)in the drive plate while I'm at it. Thanks in advance for any help.

It's possible but I believe you just be beating the crap out of yourself and the clutch even if you depress the clutch pedal. If this were mine, I'd just take it out.

UPDATE: Actually, it was pretty easy (remember, I am new at this) I am in the process of stripping the tractor to pull the motor. I depressed and locked the clutch pedal....then i "just tried" to punch the pins because I had previously spayed WD40 on the pins.....I was wondering if they would budge because I was going to the parts store and wondered if I should get some pins while there. Well, they not only budged....they came out pretty easily with a long handle punch. There was no "tension" on the pressure plates and also plenty of room. Motor is still in but pins are out.

I put a piece of wood across the frame so the shaft rests on it. Then bang away.

I had the shaft support by a piece of wood on a jack at just the right height. But again, it came out pretty easily
. Now I have another issue, the cadet parts guy sent me the wrong pilot bushing. He sent me the "self-centering pilot bearing" instead of the bushing. The O.D. on this "bearing" is about .200 inch too big. I wish I could cross-reference it somehow so I could try a local autoparts store. |

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.
