Front PTO carbon button
The tractor is a Cub Cadet 72 with a snow thrower. The front PTO button that pushes the clutch in is breaking almost every time I use the blower. Not a huge replacement project but, it's getting annoying. I believe I bought these at Part Tree.com. Is there a source that has better quality ones?

Our member JeffinPa makes brass ones. Very good price, much better than OEM.
http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=20875 As a note, even the fiber ones should last longer. You need to figure out what the real issue is. It may be due for a PTO rebuild. |

Thanks, I've had this machine for decades and thought I knew it pretty well. The button performs a simple function so real issue could be tricky to find.

I have broken one before when installing it. You aren't cracking the stem on installation are you?

Do you have it seated completely and squarely in the hole?

Is the linkage properly aligned and is the button in the center of the clutch in good condition?

I did a thread on the first brass PTO button I made for myself. I got 5 years out of it and could have gotten a few more out of it http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=43724 |

Front PTO carbon button
Thank you all for your suggestions. My suspicion is that the linkage was adjusted too tight and the two buttons were constantly rubbing (overheating?).

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.
