Default 782 troubles

Well what started out as a seek and fix mission this morning turned into a big turd of a day.
Seemed my pto was squeaking the other day and thought I would look into it today. Went to start the tractor and the battery was pretty low, didn't turn over very well, so ended up bumping the key. Got a half of a revolution in and heard a "clunk" and heard something hit the floor.
So looked under the tractor and found a chunk of aluminum can't be good. Dug deeper and saw it was the lower ear on the engine where the starter attaches. Seems the PO changed starters at one time or another and never tightened the lower nut, and I never noticed.
I think when I bumped the starter it must have been enough torque to snap the mounting tab. So...... out came the engine. I would like to give the designer of all this engine tin a kick in the butt,, holy smoke, it takes longer to remove all that crap than pull the engine.
Now to see if I can find someone to try and fix it. Think it can be fixed?
Back to the original problem. The bearing is toast, least of my worries now.

is that part of the engine block or just like a side cover or end cover? im sure it could be welded but pretty sure youll have to take it apart farther so it is easier to get at to weld. the easier it is to get at the weld will be much better
just my

I'm surprised nobody's said the best solution of all; duct tape!

Seriously though, sorry to hear about this. I can't image how pi#$@$ of I'd be if that happened to me.

I was gonna suggest JB weld........

All kiddin' aside, Todd that s$@ks. Wonder how often that happens. Kinda weird you didn't have any warning other than the clunk/break episode. Woulda thought there might have been an engagement issue or grinding. Hopefully it will be an fairly easy fix for ya. Keep us posted.......

In your pic#5 the cover suppose to rub on the pulley in pic #6? Mine has those same wear marks. Is that basically the pulley brake? To stop the PTO? Did I just answer my own question?....

Yes it's a brake, and it rubs the clutch, not the pulley.

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.
