Default Quietline 1250 first post

Hey everyone this is my first post on here.

II recently bought a 1250 with 50" deck and snowblower. I've wanted one for a long time and I finally decided to go for it. Its in decent shape but has a few things I need to work out with it. I will start with two things and as I fix them, I will post some more.

First thing is the PTO doesn't always fully disengage. I've read how to adjust it in the manual but I'm not sure what to exactly gap to .010" through the slot. I don't see a gap I can stick the feeler gauge into. And the second problem is when I leave my tractor parked with the deck raised, it will slowly lower over about two days. It has the hydraulic lift.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

First, welcome to OCC..........

The Electric PTO issue can be found here........ Elec PTO

You may have a leaking Hydraulic Cylinder, Spool Valve, or Piping issue. You have two options. (A) Tolerate it, or (B) trace the issue down, and get it fixed.

I looked at that diagram as i was checking out my pto but i dont see any gap in there to slide my gauge into. I guess the plate needs to be turned out to open a gap then?

It is normal for the deck to drift down in 1/2 a day.
Nothing to worry about.
All hydraulic systems have a permissible internal leakage.
some are minute, others are allowed more permissible drift.
Welcome!
and you can spend months here reading/getting educated on your GT
Oh,
And the fellers like pictures.

The pto needs to be off (no power applied) and the feeler gauge needs to be inserted between the plate and the coil. (#2 and #3)
Not between the stamped plate and retaining ring/cover where the springs attach, that is a brake and you do not adjust it as it has no clearance with power off, thus in braking mode.
it is automatically set when you adjust the air gap between #2 and #3

Go by the settings that are stated in the manual, but here is a You Tube video that will give you a good idea of what you have to do.

ALL OEM PTO's have that gap slot (3 of them) right near the adjusting nuts. Now unless someone has thrown an off brand, or aftermarket PTO on, the slots are like indicated in the link.

I havent been able to look at it since i posted. I blew my back out so if im feeling up to it i will try to take a look at it tomorrow. I can deal with the hydraulic lift lowering over time but i want to address the pto before the snow falls.

Ok so i have the pto adjusted correctly now and it works as it should. Im not sure why it was so much out if adjustment but its all good now. Im going to live with the lift sinking over time, its not really a big deal for me.

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.
