I've been mowing my yard with a PTO that had a brake shoe on the rockshaft assembly, and no brake disc on the pulley. Instead, it has the thrust button for a PTO with no brake. So, per Service Manual, my PTO was set up with one side for a brake, the other side for no brake. No wear button on the rockshaft assembly. Has anyone ever heard of someone doing this to a Cub? Per serial number, my cub should have a brake disc on the pulley. So i'm wondering if the PO did this, or if the guy I purchased my cub from did it. I know he went through the cub and swapped some parts out that he wanted. He mixed and matched my mule drive and subframe. Any ideas how long it could be used this way? Years, or the amount of time i've had it, less than a full mowing season? I took it apart of course, can't use it like that. I'll be pretty PO'D if the guy i purchased it from did this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Here are some pics. The thrust button was braking against the screw in the center of the brake shoe. It wore the screw down to where the brake shoe began to make contact with the throw out levers.

Well, it certainly didn't leave the factory that way, so one of the previous owners had to have done it. I can't imagine it would last long that way.

I'm thinking the same thing, this must have happened recently, which means the guy I bought it from did it. That's just wrong.

Hey Tommy:

Was the guy who sold it to you someone you think really knew a lot about these tractors?

Or, is it possible they just thought they had a working pto and didn't bother to learn all the right pieces to put together.

There are a lot of ways to put one of these things together "not right" and still make them run. But, I'm betting the right fix gets more expensive after that.

The guy talked like he was a cub cadet expert. Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about cubs at the time, so I took him at his word. After learning more and inspecting my cub, I can tell by some of the things he did he doesn't know very much. I bet he took the PTO with the brake disc off of mine, and put his old PTO on mine. Which means he's got a PTO with a brake disc and a rockshaft with a wear button on it, instead of a brake shoe. If I see him again I'm gonna try to find out.

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.
