Default PTO Question
I'm going to adjust the PTO on my 680 and just want to make sure I do it right. It says in the owners manual to adjust it to .010-.015 inches, but if the brake plate drags on clutch increase air gap to .020 inches. My question is, does that mean that you adjust it when the pto is engaged or disengaged?
Thanks.

You can't adjust it with it engaged because the air gap is zero when it is engaged.

It should be disengaged to set the air gap.

Ok, thanks. I just didn't want to mess anything up. It was probably a self explanatory question?

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.
