Mechanical PTO Adjusted by Feel - Now What?
Hey guys,
Decided to take off the mechanical PTO on the 129 today to inspect it, see what it felt like it had some play in the bearing (well....that ended up being obvious...bearing is a bit worn). Anyway, I re-adjusted the clutch, getting at the screws on the back side to be of equal length, followed instruction as much as possible from the Service Manual, but I don't have the PTO adjustment tool. So I did it "by feel." It seemed to grab and release fine by hand, and I adjusted the PTO rod per spec as well. Well, it's not right. I can get it to disengage when running at idle, but BARELY! A 16th of an inch forward or backward on the PTO lever and the clutch will grab again. I don't want to burn this thing up, but without a gauge...what do you say I do? I'm figuring that I should release a little tension on those screws. One of them was slightly loose when I first got it off the tractor, so I went ahead and screwed them all down a half turn or so figuring that bringing them in a bit would help. But it's just not right. I think I've got them too tight now. This is my first time ever bein in a Cub PTO clutch, all suggestions are welcome. Whaddya think?

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.
