Thumbs down Broke the pulling tractor
hey guys, fixed the midwest super cub clutch in my 102 pulling tractor, clutch worked great, loaded it with weight, went to the pull, and we were pulling great with pretty good traction, then at 2650lbs the rear end made a snap sound, turns out we broke the carrier, not the axles they are fine , so that wasnt a good pull, the whole rear was replaced awile ago too, everything was stock other than the clutch, so we removed the axles and broken carrier and started to wipe everything out, i am going to go with fine spline i think

stock carriers and axles don't cut it for pulling. top shafts and shift forks are not far behind.

what gear do you run that you run out of power?

Our 10hp doesn't run out of power.It will spin before that.We only run 1st or 2nd and there stock gears and the motor only has the head shaved.And we haven't broke an axle or carrier but i'm putting a built 14hp in in the off season.And i'm putting a fine spline rear in and a hardened top shaft and all the good stuff because sooner or later it will break.

i had 3 weights that are 225lbs each , so 675lbs total, one was in the middle, the other 2 were on the back , a heavy counter weight of a manhole cover cut in half , 3 steel plate slabs in the middle about 25lbs each, and 25lb wheel weights on each side and really heavy wheel weights on each side , so there was about 1000lbs on it

I think that is why he powers out, and why the carrier broke.

I've seen stock carriers and axles break at #950. They just are not heavy duty enough for pulling applications.

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.
