Yep, that is the bend I thought might be wrong. I guess since the bearing contact area is worn the part I was worried about doesn't really matter. "Someone" quilted me into fixing it right instead of allowing me to weld up the worn fork, grind it back down and then either tell the kids and wife how I fixed it or have it tear up and take it back apart and buy a new fork. Thanks, thanks alot!! LOL

From past experience I would not use a red spring or heavier spring in a daily user. You leg will be hurting by the end of the day. The bracket that holds the clutch hanger will have to be braced or you will have problems down the road.

Check out the clutch rebuild in the tech section. I used a spring that is heavier than a stock spring but not as heavier-harder to push clutch in. Cub Cadet Classics sells a blue spring that is the same pressure as the system I used.

That is what I had in mind, this is not a puller. I do want something that if/when I can get it to a plow day that the only thing I have to worry about is setting up the plow and keeping the furrow straight. I read through it and that's the only reason I sound a little coherent about this. Like I said earlier, years worth of knowledge in seconds when you hang here!!! Think I will go back and read through it again..cause I can.

I am in need of the same part. I got my 1000 back from my brother who is a threat to all things mechanical. The linkage between the pedal and throwout lever broke at the 90° rendering the clutch inoperable. Before it broke the throwout bearing locked up and he used it anyway. It ground a recess in the lever and it needs to be rebuilt.

What spring do you guys suggest? I want to do the same thing as Red211 - a little stronger than stock but easy on my left leg. I have a box scarper that will get a lot of use this summer and I don't want the clutch slipping.

Sawdustdad - did you remember where you got the lever from? I have the same 3 point bracket for my 1000. I feel better pulling a scraper with the tabs holding in shear.

I would use the spring set up in the clutch rebuild that is in the tech section or the blue spring that Cub Classic sells.

I'm the only one that will use mine so not to worried about the hard push. Just no need in killing it for a little plowing and the very slim chance it could pull once if it runs good. I have no desire to pull but if the chance arose I am not above hooking it to a sled just cause. As long as the blue/cultivator spring is up to that I'm good with it.
