Default Cub cadet teaser spring
I know I've read and seen articles\posts about using a spacer to replace the teaser spring on the gear drive cubs. Has any one done this and is is there an advantage or is this just for pulling cubs?

The teaser spring keeps the clutch from rattling (very noisy) when the clutch is applied.
Removing it, or replacing it with a washer will just make it rattle like crazy (been there).

Not only will it rattle like crazy, it won't engage smoothly. That 'lockwasher and spacer' myth is total BS in my opinion. I tried it, and it sucks.

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.
