I have been doing some winter work on my '62 Cub Cadet Original. Recently I started it up and the gears grinded awfully with the clutch fully depressed. Couldn't even go into a gear, I might as well have not been using the clutch at all. Spent a good hour playing with the clutch yoke trying to get it between 0.020-0.030 in and I got it correctly, but it grinds just as bad as before. Another thing to include is that the clutch release collar does not return to its oriinal position. I would press the clutch in moving the collar forward, After releasing, the operating yoke would return to its original position, but the collar wouldn't. Any Ideas? I'm afraid to destroy my gearbox any further.

Is the frame broken near the transmission thus causing a misalignment in the drive shaft?

No, the frame is straight and no cracks

Driveshaft alignment and/or throw out bearing issue.

I'm not familiar with Cub Cadet clutches as I have only Hydro's, so I may be way off. But if somebody described those symptoms and told me they were happening on a Farmall A, I would tell them that either their clutch wasn't releasing, or the pilot bearing was dry and binding.
If it was me, I'd check whatever the equivalent to those is on a Cub Cadet. Just a thought. |

The clutch plate may be frozen to the drive disc from sitting a long time.

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.
