Advice on a new clutch and shaft...

[eastonct124]

I've been calling a machine shop who makes new drive-shafts, with no luck.
I have a 122 w/creeper, and a 124 w/o creeper.
The 122 has a worn drive-shaft (bad grooves at the throwout bearing area)...so I want a brand new one.
And, both machines need new clutch discs.
And both need throwout bearings. (new, not used)
I did cut the drive-plates a few years ago, so they are true, but I will dress them again upon dis-assembly.

Where can I get the items I listed .....at a reasonable price asap.

Sorry, but some of the "Cub Cadet" places online are so high priced you'd think the parts are made by Ferrari.

You could place a wanted ad, in the Wanted Items section of the site.

Mark hellrung one of our sponsors sells rebuilt clutch and drive shaft assembly for the narrow frames. Top notch quality and only slightly more expensive that buying the parts to do it yourself. You just ship him back your old one.

I bought one for nmy 104

Thanks for the help, but I finally got through to someone, and I ordered everything I could think of, including new cultivator springs, drive plate pins, rear couplers, and teaser springs.
Once I pull the motor, I don't want to be doing it again because I was too cheap.
Thanks again.

If you don't mind me asking how much did that cost you? The clutch i mentioned is $175+ shipping. ($192ish plus the cost of return shipping)if I remember right all together).

Here is what i remember parts costing when I was gonna do it myself.
Throw Out Bearing - $50
Clutch Disc - $30
Springs - $25
Main Spring - $25
Pins - $10
Drive Shaft - $30
Pressure Plate Turning in Lathe - $12
Shipping $30ish

$192 (same price approx) plus you have to do the work yourself.

PS i have no stake in this guys business I just want to make sure you made the right choice doing this yourself. I can take pics of the unit he sent me when I get home tonight if you'd like but its like dropping in a brand new clutch and it only took me 10 minutes to do so.

Still lookin at about $200 for a full rebuild. They do have EVERYTHING you would need in one place though.

I paid $267.00 for:
2 throwout bearings
2 teaser springs
2 rear couplers
2 cultivator springs
2 clutch discs
2 sets of new drive plate pins
1 driveshaft
All are brand new...not rebuilt or used.
