I ordered all my pulleys, belts, the deck belt spring and arm last night. Small fortune!! Probably could have bought a used deck off of Craigslist for the price I just paid for replacement parts.

So, my PTO hasn't been working for me. It keeps blowing fuses. I adjusted the PTO clutch with a .010" feeler gauge to make sure all was good. Come to find out....the black wire leading into the PTO housing goes through a small hole...well that small hole wore out the insulation...so I'm going to epoxy that location in hopes that it'll fix the issue.

Everyone always assumes that when a PTO blows a fuse it must be a gap issue with the clutch. All as the coil on a PTO does is create a magnetic field. It doesn't care if the gap is .005" or 5", it still draws the same amount of current. Anytime that you blow a fuse on a PTO you should always suspect a dead short, either with a wire, or a bad/failing coil. To test, just unplug the PTO. If it still blows fuses, it's a wiring issue. If not, then it may be in the coil. Looks like you found the issue. Just giving info for faster diagnosis next time.

Thanks John, I'm still not totally convinced the coil isn't bad. I'll fix the issue with the wire, and go from there.

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.
