127 pulley welded to shaft
Longtime lurker, recent signup and first post…
I picked up a 1969 127 that had been for sale along a nearby road. It was cheap and there were obvious things missing, but it runs well and drives well with no creeping or leaks. It’s a 55-year-old tractor… Digging in, though, I’ve discovered that a previous owner welded the clutch drive pulley and associated hardware to the output shaft. It appears to have been converted into a yard towing machine rather than a ground working tractor. I had figured on using it to eventually mow the yard. I’m debating now whether to keep going with this as this is beyond the scope of what I can do in my garage. The question is whether I can get someone to break/grind the welds to get the basket pulley off and replace it to reverse whatever it is they did. Or if it’s all welded together permanently. I’m not a metalworker or a machinist, so I don’t know if this looks to be reversible without damaging the crankshaft. I also don’t know what these parts look like disassembled to know the extent of how this is all locked together. The engine appears to be original, so I’d like to keep it together with the chassis. Thoughts/suggestions? |

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.
