Default Need help.- Front PTO will not dis-engage
This is my first GT (122) and need help. My front pto will not stop. Adjusted linkage and still wont stop. Thought maybe bearing was locked up so I took the PTO off to check and bearing is good. Not sure what to do next. Any ideas?

When you say " the pto will not stop", does the mower deck continue to turn?

If so, check your clearance between the fiber ( or brass ) button on the flat arm and the round steel button on the PTO itself. It should almost touch.

Yes deck continues to turn. When i pull handle back to stop pto buttons both come togeather but deck keeps turning. Could the plates be rusted togeather? The tractor has been sitting for awhile.

Yes, they could be stuck together.

Got any heavy grass you could mow with the PTO handle pulled back? That might give enough resistance to break it free. Or, you may have to disassemble it to clean it up. You will need a guage to properly set the spring tension on the PTO. ( it's not hard to do but you must have the guage )

No on the grass and no gauge. Maybe i will just rebuild it since its off and looks pretty rusted up. How do I get a gauge? Do they come with rebuild kits? Thanks for the help Jeff.

Yes, the guage comes with the kit. There are two different PTO's that fit. One is smooth on the front of the pulley and the other has 6(?) nubs cast into it. One takes a double spring and the other takes a single spring.

It's always good to check out the sponsors at the top of the page for parts. I checked on the Cub Classics website and they have the kit on page 2

Just let them know which hub you have ( nub/pins or smooth ) and you'll get the correct kit

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.
