Default Manual PTO adjustment

I recently rebuilt the front PTO on my 128 after noticing one of clutch throw out levers were loose. When I took the PTO off one of the jam nuts had loosened and allowed the other nut to loosen also. I followed the manual and think I have it adjusted correctly using the gauge and have it put back on. With the tractor not running, the PTO works as it should. When engaged the PTO and engine turn, when depressed only the PTO will rotate. When depressed, I can barely move the clutch levers just a little. Is this normal or do I need to take the PTO back off and tighten the PTO bolts more?

When depressed, the PTO is engaged. How well does it work with an implement engaged with this PTO? If the implement works properly with an engaged/disengaged PTO, you prolly got it right!

With engine off and PTO engaged ( on position,lever away from fingers) there may be a little wiggle in the fingers ,but they should not be sloppy loose, same the other way with lever against fingers may be a little play but not much,if you used the gauge and followed the procedure should be fine .

Just went and checked 109 PTO disengaged (off)little wiggle at fingers near center button, PTO engaged ( on ) still can move fingers but not much or as easy ! hope that helps

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.
