Hello and welcome! Could we get a pic of what you did? Me personally I wouldn't do that. You would be better off buying the correct part.

I could see it being a temp fix and good thinkin on yer feet. But for as cheap as a jew clutch disk is id be swapping it out soon. So much more smooth in taking off and if u need it to slip it will but new parts will hold just as good

I agree with cubby, you'd be better off fixing it the right way. Get the correct parts and fix it right. There are some things you can modify to fix like I have a older k301 and a newer pto clutch. It has a bronze sleeve on it and a oversized key way , but I'm your fix may tear up more than what it would cost to fix it right. My 2 cents

I got the idea from a web site on pulling tractors and if it would work for them it would work for me in the yard pulling a plow (NOTE: If an aluminum clutch disc is used in a high rpm tractor, I found they won't work as well because after a while the aluminum will get galled, and the clutch could become "grabby." The aluminum disc works best in a stock tractor with the engine running at a maximum of 4,000 rpm. Therefore, a double fiber clutch disc set up with a cultivator pressure spring may to be installed.)

I wouldn't run an aluminum clutch even in a pulling tractor. (Yes, I am very aware that they sell them as an option.) Sounds like your convinced though, so whatever. It's yours, do as you wish.

I'm not trying to be argumentative over the deal I just did what I could do to keep my machine running until the first of the month when I get my VA check and I might have the cash to buy regular clutch I'm very aware of the detrimental aspect of metal on metal I was raised different but I do what I can do

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.
