Cub Cadet 147 PTO set screws
Hello all. I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the engine on my 147. I need to remove the pto assembly. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the set screws are not aligned with the notches in the basket. They are about half an inch rotated away from those so I cannot get an Allen wrench in to take the screws out. Any idea how to twist that basket thing to align the notches and set screw?

Assuming you have the grill shell off and everything is out of the way,
with a hammer, tap on the button on the pto clutch while at the same time trying to turn the basket by hand. Each time you tap with the hammer the basket will move a little bit. Keep doing it until the Allen screws and notches line up. I'm sayin' gentle taps, not Hulk Hogan stuff. |

Whenever I open up a thread about screws in pto's,I hope you get good results.Little allen screws can be a problem, because you might run into a situation where the last guy didn't have a good experience.My thoughts, have time to soak with your favorite removal solution.Have a fresh edge on your allen wrench.I always remove my grill anytime I work on my PTO,I slightly tap parts with a hammer,when I first insert the allen wrench,I carefully get a feel of the fit.If the last guy used a worn wrench, you might try lapping grit and a slight tap with your hammer.hopefully it goes well.I'm careful about clean threads,good screw fit and wrenches when I reassemble,and to the proper tightness

Thank you all! Luckily my 147 is completely stock, and has never been tampered with. Got the screws out alright. Thanks everyone!

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.
