Default Electric PTO Clutch

How warm/hot should the PTO clutch get? After running it for less than 5 minutes, the frame work behind the pulley was hot enough you did not want to leave your hand on it very long. Is this normal?

If not any ideas what to do?

I never had occasion to really check one after running it.

Thanks

Make sure it is adjusted right. What tractor is it on?

It's on a 1861.

What adjustment would cause it to get hot?

Just a FYI the coils do get hot.

1st they are bolted to the front of the engine directly under the exhaust system.

2nd they are an electric coil.

Over 200 is pretty normal.

If its not adjusted right it does not lock on and causes friction which causes heat. There should be instructions in the manual section on how to adjust the pto.

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.
