Default Seized PTO Bearing Help

The PTO Clutch on my 100 engine is rotated to where the set screw holes do not line up with the notches. To make matters worse depressing the button does nothing to free spin the unit to line up the notches. As it appears the bearing is seized. In fact the button fell off the front of the PTO once I removed the pressure from the Puller. Any tips on getting this thing off now without damaging the crank and Basket pulley behind it.

I had one just like that this week ! I was about 1/2 inch away from the holes lining up and stuck a pointed bar in the big hole in the basket pulley and used a punch in the set screw holes to drive the pto till it lined up . Be careful not to ruin the set screw holes, I cleaned the holes out good then blew them out and soaked them with pb blaster, make sure your allen wrench is not rounded off on the corners ! I got 5 of the 6 screws lose and had to drill the 6th !What I found was the clutch material was stuck to the pressure plate and pto face more so than the bearing being locked up although the bearing was not in great shape anyway !

I was able to get it free today and rotate around. Got one screw out so far and thats it. I am getting some 3/8" drive allens to try tomorrow but apparently I can pull the whole thing off and destroy the bearing but save the clutch.

not sure about pulling it off with those screws holding on the brg. I think I used a 3/16 bit and drilled through the bottom screw on mine,drilled fairly easy without damaging the threads in the clutch housing !

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.
