PTO clutch release bearing
Hi there, I see it's been almost 4 years since I last logged into here. Whew! I have been way, way too busy. I've not given my Cub much TLC in the last while. But with my lack of oversight, and my boys doing the lawn mowing, I was unfortunate to have the engine run low in oil and lock down. Soooooo.... now I have the engine out to rebuild it and while it's out its gonna get some attention in other areas, including the ignition system (more on that in another post later) and the PTO clutch.
Has anyone ever gotten tired of periodically replacing the little release button on the release lever? What's wrong with a full cage ball thrust bearing? Several years ago mine was upgraded using a NICE 601V bearing. No need to be concerned about it wearing the whole time the clutch is released. It does require some minor modification, but it's not difficult. I try to add some lube once or twice a season, but in several years I have yet to need to replace it. I'll try to get some pics posted first of the week.

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.
