Nicely done. Getting the PTO clutch off was the hardest part of rebuilding my K241.

Glad you got it off, you obviously took the patience approach. It is
truly the only way to get it done without head banging.
I realize your a ways from putting it back together. Maybe while waiting
on parts and such. Give the PTO a good cleaning and especially where
those set screws were at. Chase the threads nice a clean. Run a little
oil in the threads. I would also consider replacing all the set screws.
You will be glad you did when reassembly happens. And if you ever
have to take it apart again. Easy Easy.

Good work!

I found an old Cub driveshaft makes a fine bar to use to pry off the PTO clutch a bit at a time, working your way around the housing.

Looking forward to your progress and pictures.


Merry Christmas!

I’m this far. The last set screw here is pretty stuck. Out of all our Allen wrenches couldn’t seem to get one to fit 100% perfect. Spun out a couple times…

Had to heat up that temperamental set screw and sacrafice a screwdriver, but eventually got this far. Will have to carefully drill out the remains of the set screw. We are unsure how to remove the cam… As far as I saw, the manual explains reinstall, but not dissassembly...

JBrewer, the most recent pics I posted were as links just a couple posts back. That’s pretty much how far I am right now.

Default Should I repaint it?
Do you guys think that I should repaint the motor the right type of yellow while I have it all apart? I mean, it‘s pretty much going to be a new motor inside, might as well be outside. I didn’t even really consider the idea until my dad mentioned it. I think it might look weird with the way the rest of the tractor looks. Although I could restore the whole tractor next summer, but that seems like a lot of work to me. I’m going to put on new tires next summer so might as well repaint the rims while the old tires are off and new ones aren’t on yet. Problem: We do have a nice warm 70 degree F attached garage, but can’t really spray much in there because it’s attached and well fumes. It’s winter here in Wisconsin. Do you guys think I could get away with painting the motor parts outside in the 20 something degree weather and then bringing them in to dry?

If you think that you might repaint the whole tractor, then now is the time to paint the engine. This will be the last time it's spiffy clean and completely apart.

Painting parts outside and bringing in will work, and while you won't have to worry about fumes, there will still be paint smell while the paint dries, so better check with the folks first.

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.
