Cub Cadet 1042
Hi first post. I bought a 1042 late last year for a winter project, not running with wiring unattached in a field , I thought this will be a challenge to keep me busy all winter. got it home and realized, that the old Briggs 19.5 hp motor was not original, after i unstuck one exhaust valve and pulled off the fly wheel to see the shear key was wiped out and the timing was about 180 degrees out, i got it running, this carb has the fuel pump built right on to the carb, so after a fuel pump rebuild kit it runs and drives great the 42 inch deck was not attached at the time, so I engaged the electric pto switch and the pulley started up very quite and smoothly, I replaced two bearing on the port side spindle, mounted the deck started her up and pulled the pto switch and the deck started up with a very hard and sudden violent engagement that it lost rpm for a second or two, but ran smoothly and quietly, i found a on line manual and it said to engage the deck at top rpm, so that is what i did. Is there somewhere on the deck that i should be checking or is this normal and should be expected?
Thank you very much.

Electric PTO's engage quickly and is normal.
While they say to start them at full RPM, longer life of all things related to the drive system denotes that a lower RPM is better. But if you have to increase the rpm's a bit keep the engine running, its just fine. I just don't like to hear a belt/pulley/clutch screech on start up. But the manufactures like selling replacement parts.

Reply to George.
Thanks for the tip I will try that. I took the deck drive belt off and spun all the bearings manually and none were stuck or even ruff to spin, I do question the angle of the furthest back pulley even though it is mounted to the deck with a very thick bracket, it sure has a very pronounced angle, sloping down towards the front, I have to take a look at another deck to see if that is correct, but the belt stays on, I wont know for sure until there is grass in 2 months.
Thanks again

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.
