Some questions

[MinnesotaCadet]

I just picked up a 125 and the starter generator belt kept flying off and I saw that the pulley was bent and dented pretty bad. It didn't have much of anything left that had anything to do with the PTO. It's all smashed up and I'm just going to get a whole front clutch so I can run a QA-42 I have available. Another problem is it revs really high because the governor can't control it because it's pretty loose, I think the governor spring just needs to be adjusted. It's either low idle or wide open, nothing in between.

Heres some of the PTO parts I've been looking at.

The clutch itself(It looks rebuilt): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-73...item2ecb9ad144


Would this fit on it? a clutch actuator from a 73:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-72...item2ecc0ca7fa


And this is what I need to actually run the tractor(will it fit on a 12 HP?): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-14...item565f4daf6a

Sorry for the long post and all the questions I'll see if I can get some pictures of the old girl...and of the mashed up generator pulley.

Why don't you post some pics. I can't begin to imagine that the PTO pulley is damaged and you would need a complete other one. They are, after all, cast iron. Now, it something failed on it and grooved it, that is a different story.

When you say the S/G pulley is bent, do you mean the one on the S/G itself? Or are you talking about the big pulley on the motor?

Pics will clear up a lot of questions on this end. Unless the parts are completely missing on you tractor, most of that stuff should be able to be repaired.

That clutch is toast...it has a broken spring and the thrust button is shot.

The Big one on the tractor is destroyed. I am missing everything except the S/G pulley on the tractor, and that is destroyed and all bent crooked, from what I know is that the crankshaft is not bent, I just have to get it off. Here's some pictures(all three of the PTO pictures are from different sides:

Oh yeah that is shot.
BTW the spring on the gov arm should be in the 3rd hole from the bottom.

Well...... the pics definitely spoke a thousand words on this deal!
Lew is right, the PTO you posted a link to is not any good. You can buy it, but it will have to be rebuilt. Check with the sponsors at the top. IH Cub Cadet Parts (the sponsor on the bottom) has rebuilt units for the best price. One of the other ones I'm sure can get you the big pulley.

First one is a piece of doo -doo
the other is fine

Thanks so much for the help! I'll try adjusting the governor tomorrow. I just checked and the governor arm was in exactly opposite of what you said Dark_minion, I looked on my other 125 and it was right where you said.

I just ordered everything. Only $138 for all of the PTO equipment. Soon I'll be able to run my QA-42 Thanks for all the advice!
