    Cub 147 Clutch

    Yes there were, I did not have them jammed against each other properly. One nut came completely off. Is 80 grit paper coarse enough to clean up the plate and main clutch part? Planning on laying a full sheet on a flat surface and clean up that way.

    Cub 147 Clutch

    Update: Well, I am embarrassed to say 2 out of the three clutch bolts came loose. One nut was completely off. Fortunately the disc looks OK as well as the steel surfaces. This time I will be sure to torque those double nuts. While apart I will replace both belts as they have some small...

    Cub 147 Clutch

    OK, I cut the grass for this week. Tomorrow I plan on removing the deck, checking the spindles for bearing issues, remove and disassemble the clutch, check the mule drive sheaves, etc. Thought I would replace the belt tension spring while I have things apart. Anything else i need to look at?

    Cub 147 Clutch

    Belt was new last summer. The other one tore after 3 years. There has got to be something wrong somewhere, I just am not seeing it yet.

    Cub 147 Clutch

    Since it had slipped several times while mowing, I should take it apart and deglaze the parts. I then can check all components of the deck and mule drive for possible bad bearings. If all is OK and it still slips, I am going to install the later clutch.

    Cub 147 Clutch

    Yes, that snap ring is there. Completely forgot about that when you ask. Both photos are of the clutch engaged.

    Cub 147 Clutch

    Not sure about the bearing. I will need to look. But I think my bearing had a thin wire ring inside to keep it slight out past flush. Those two buttons never did line up as long as I have the tractor. Not sure of the snap ring you mention. Not sure if the clutch was engaged or not when I...

    Cub 147 Clutch

    Yes fully engaged, clearance in linkage. Maybe I will double the recommended clearance. It already slipped so maybe the clutch disc is glazed?

    Cub 147 Clutch

    I have a Cub Cadet 147 with a 48" mower deck. I rebuilt the clutch with new clutch plate and new compression springs and friction disk spring. I went over the two steel surfaces with 80 grit paper. Carefully setup the clutch with the correct setup tool. First time out mowing it started...

    PTO Clutch set screws

    Agree. I think they are trying to price our tractors to the junk yard.

    PTO Clutch set screws

    Maybe I am looking at the part number wrong. I was assuming quantity of 1 for $15.24 . Even that price for 3 is high to me.

    PTO Clutch set screws

    Lots of good posts on removing the PTO clutch, but did not see any mentioning the screws. The pointed set screws for the PTO manual clutch are getting out of site in price. I did find some on McMaster-Carr, but they are not completely pointed. Has anyone used them or made their own. I am not...

    Thanks also to Steve Blunier.

    Rear Deck Anti-Scalp Roller

    Here are some more photos of one mounted inside. I could not do an inside because of the blade configuration.

    Rear Deck Anti-Scalp Roller

    Well I won't know until next mowing season how well it will work. You could make a bracket like the one used on the front anti-scalp wheels where there are two rows of holes giving 1/2" adjustments. Thing you need to watch at least on my 147 is the hydro. Where mine is currently it is close...

    Rear Deck Anti-Scalp Roller

    Here is one photo showing what Steve Blunier did.

    Rear Deck Anti-Scalp Roller

    OK, here is what I have now. Bottom of roller is 1/4" below the blade. Steve Blunier is a good authority on here for deck info. He did one where the centerline of the shaft is at the blade. I would need to drop another 3/4" to equal his, which I plan on doing.

    Rear Deck Anti-Scalp Roller

    I will take some photos tomorrow and post.

    Rear Deck Anti-Scalp Roller

    Years back several people on here installed a rear anti-scalp roller on their mower decks. I added one to my 48" deck on my 147. I positioned it so the bottom of the roller is the same distance below the blade in the back as the one in the front. Anyone install theirs any lower? Thinking of...
