I had to replace the disc and throwout bearing on my 1000 that I got back after 10 years. I had the engine out and this is how I compressed the spring:
I put the rear pin in the shaft and loaded the big spring, throwout bearing and lever on the shaft and installed it in the tractor. I connected the hinge pin at the top of the lever and put the rod and spring in the bottom. I only threaded the nut on the rod until the nut was fully engaged and the rod was flush with the nut and no more. I used a wire zip tie to hold the pedal up. I pushed the lever back with my right hand and put the back end of the linkage rod in the lever on the clutch/brake with my left. It wasn't easy but I did it. Once I had the spring compressed I was able to install the front pin and the pressure plates and disc. I adjusted the clutch per the manual. My clutch throwout lever was worn and I was trying to get away with reusing it. My plan didn't work. The second time I did this the engine was in the tractor. I removed the muffler, loosened the engine mounting bolts and slid it forward as far as I could. I did the same thing as what the engine was in the frame except with less room. In hindsight I could have used a ratchet strap or another mechanical means to compress the spring but I knew I could do it with brute force. I hope the clutch won't need service for another 40 years and I won't have to do it again. Bob

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.
