2082 Super PTO Adjustment
Alright fellas, I need a swift boot in the right direction here. First off, I'd like to thank all you guys for all your knowledge and help already. I inherited my Father in Law's 2082 Super last summer for lawn mowing duty at my newly acquired home. Towards the end of summer last year the bearing froze up in the PTO and I didn't have time between work and home renovations to tear things down and replace the bearing so I just finished the season off and parked it.
Fast forward to this week, I pulled the PTO apart, pressed out the old bearing, picked one up locally and pressed the new one back in. Now I'm sitting here on a bucket in the garage trying to get this thing adjusted so it works correctly and can't for the life of me get it to work right. I've got my feeler gauges, I'm setting the air gap to .015" like I saw in one of the other "PTO Woes" thread but I'm confused at what to tighten first. When I tighten the (3) 9/16" nuts that hold the pulley assembly and set the air gap, as soon as I tighten the 5/8" bolt on the front of the pulley my air gap disappears and the PTO remains engaged all the time. If I leave that 5/8" bolt loose so the pulley spins free and maintains a .015" gap at the three places to check then when I fire it up after it runs for a few seconds the bolt tightens up and the PTO engages even though the switch is off. Which do I tighten first, 9/16" nuts or the 5/8" pulley bolt?? When I run the 9/16" nuts in first, it seems like that doesn't mess with my air gap? Am I not running them in far enough? And I'll throw up a picture of where I'm checking the air gaps, just to verify I'm checking in the right spot. Thanks guys!

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.
