Hello Gang,
I've got a 1641 that I went out to get out of storage. The old girl wouldn't start because one or both of the bearings are seized in the pto clutch. This clutch in particular is the second replacement clutch since the family bought the tractor new. Well it turns out this replacement clutch is of the "non-serviceable" variety so, no adjustments can be made... works or it don't, eh? Has anyone had any success in replacing the bearings in one of these clutches? Just wondering before I go out and spend another $300+ on yet another pto clutch. Thanx in advance.... Bob |

The 1641 PTO clutch diagram on cub cadets web looks very simular to my 1862 cub clutch. My clutch had only a big bearing in front. I removed the clutch from the tractor and disassembled it. I was able to grind off the tangs that hold the bearing in and used a large socket and a short 2x4 to drive the bearing out. Save the old bearing along with a 2x4 to help drive the new one back in. You don't want to hamer a new bearing directly. Be sure and not press from the bearing ID.
Be sure and lay the clutch on a solid backup that supprts the hole in the clutc (not the whole clutch) when removing or installing a pressed bearing. My Cub dealer said my 1862 clutch wasn't rebuildable. However as most folks that wrench much have found out many parts can be rebuilt with a little bit of shade tree application. That was in '06 and so far all is well. |

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.
