I know your pain. I have a cub cadet 86. Had to spend some time on my clutch as well...when I 1st got it, it was badly chewed up from abuse from the PO... Then a second round a couple years later after I scrounged up some better replacement parts... These are fantastic old machines, but I wound up prfering the 200 series John Deere's for my needs. Still have the 86 though
Very informative vidio, I just purchased 2 1974 IH CUB 1000 and a 74 IH CUB 1250 hydrostatic cheep. Kind of a barn find while I was looking/ buying tools using Facebook marketplace... but anyway, both 3 speed manual 1000 machines need total rebuilds disk, teaser,the piece that pushes teaser, throughout baring, and one of them also need both springs.. do u have any info or ideas for a heavier spring.. without breaking the bank.. just the throughout baring is 86$ at my local dealer..thanks!
Thanks for the video. I have a 582 exactly like the one you have here. My clutch pads had some work done by a guy some years ago. Something broke in there and I cannot remember what part it was. It may have been on the flywheel mechanism. He told me he could not find another part for it. Would you happen to know what part that be that could break? Maybe I will take some photos and post them here. I do know he used that welding glue to fix it and so far it has worked. I just would eventually like to fix it. But I have had that tractor since new and it still runs and looks really great. It does seem to rattle quite a bit though. Maybe that is where it is coming from. Any chance you can do a video on adjusting the clutch brake on it as well?
Theres got to be a better clutch design thats simpler and more balance. (And avaliable!) Something from a auto diff or motorcycle? guess im stuck going down this road
I love how you used the lathe for spring compression. such a simple, yet smart solution
thank you for help
Thanks for the comment 👍
Hey Mate , you got your moneys worth out of the old plate alright !!!
3rd clutch platet in 40 years ain't to bad, I guess. I just bitch about spending money 💰🤑🤪
Interesting how that driveline is assembled. It’s built correctly but not cheap, unfortunately folks want cheap, not good stuff anymore
What a great shop, thanks for the sub, Del.
Using the lathe as an Arbor Press,,,too cool,,,Thx for sharing the IH cluch install too (@@)!
Very nice Doug, Keep the videos coming. Gary

At one time I almost had every model of the narrow frame cubs. I still have a 125 being restored.
Yeah if that disc had nine lives you spent them all. LOL
Nice job Doug.

Hi Doug,
That's a cool Cub Cadet... I would love one but being a city slicker I don't really need one...
Cheers.

sounds like the teaser spring broke. they are on ebay for around 10.00 my email is in my about section.
i have the same tractor. i am looking for a creeper gear just like that.
That is the CCC (MTD) version of the cub creeper. I found it new old stock for 300.00. Back in the mid 2000s.
Well You at least saved yourself the cost of another lawn tractor regardless of how long it last

Not much left of that clutch. Surprised you were able to drive it in your shop for the repair. She will be ready to push some snow now.
