Everyday use clutch that can handle Kohler Command 25

[clintard]

Hello,

I have a 100 and a 124, I'm going to be restoring soon. I also have 3 - 25 horse Kohler Commands and a 20 Kohler command. I'm not interested in becoming a puller, but I'd like to find a clutch set up that wont blow up on me, yet doesn't engage like the pullers do without any slip. The 124 I'm going with dual 6 inch wide ags on the rear, and the 100 I may just go with a set of 8's. Would anyone have a recommendation on a clutch set up that a guy could put to work? I'll mainly be plowing snow and hope to get a tiller and snowblower eventually. Thanks for the help.

Here is a clutch rebuild topic I started July 2014. It is geared to more everyday use Cub Cadets and can take the power you want to put to it.

Instead of the cultivator spring you can use this spring from Cub Classics:

PM me if you have nay questions.

I doubt that you will have enough traction to over ride the clutch even with a Command. That said I put a Mid West Super Cub clutch with the Kevlar disk and drive shaft in my 71/121 a couple years ago but they recommended that the spring be set at only a 5" compressed length for my needs. It has plenty of grip and is easy on the foot pressure with nice and progressive engagement. I doubt that you would have a problem with something like this. The reason I call it a 71/121 is that it was a 71 that I re-powered with a Mag 12. If you go this route I would call them and talk about what you are try to accomplish. Merk also made some very good recommendations.

I run basically a stock clutch setup but with a kevlar disk in my 108, its never slipped and even with a 12hp the biggest issue is traction.

The guys have all given you some very sound advice.

I don't pull a plow with any of my Cubs like the other guys do, I would guess that a modified clutch is probably best if you're going to do a lot of plow polling.

Many of my gear drives do get a pretty good workout though and I've only ever used the factory style clutch set-ups. I've have never had any problems with them, even with loaded tires, weights and chains (or Ags) I always run out of traction long before I run out of clutch.

Plowing snow. Tilling. Snkwblowing. A stock setup would hold in my opinion. Ive never had a problem with stock clutch fisk tebyilds even on my buddys 582. Make sure to resurface the plates and should be golden

Thanks a lot for the advice. I think ill start out with the stock clutch with plates resurfaced and everything gone through, and if i blow that up ill upgrade to one from midwest super cub. Im gonna go ahead and order the adapter for the command to the cub driveline from midwest super cub.

I have 3 complete, running 25 commands and a complete running 20 command. I really want to hang on to them but just curious what kind of money they sell for so i can have $$ for other parts.
