2166 PTO Clutch Problem? (Blades bog down easily and stop engaging after...)
Hello folks,
just came across this forum while googling my problem with my 2166. I'd appreciate any assistance you guys can offer, and will try not to be one of those one-time-use forum members Seems to be a problem with the PTO clutch. I just replaced the battery yesterday before starting on some lawn work because I had been having this problem last season. The condition seems to have improved a little bit, but the blade still bogs down easily in what it should be able to blow right through. Also, when I engage the PTO the blades sound as if they slowly start and ramp up in speed until full speed is reached. After mowing for a while and heat builds up, the blade will quit working and there is no engagement on from the PTO switch at all. Cooling down the clutch with a water hose seems to make the blade engage again for a while. I have not checked the voltage readings as I do not know how to do this. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Will I need to replace the clutch? Thanks in advance! |

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.
