147 Cub Cadet how Do I find out what PTO rebuild kit is correct?

[RAllison]

Nick I found a pic on my phone of my PTO before I put it in, I know it's just a pic but I don't see anything different from yours. When you got the right spring you also got a different checking tool right? And all I can think to ask is if you resurfaced the clutch and plate as mentioned earlier in the thread?

Okay thank You!

Pull it and post a pic of the back. Squeaking usually means the bearing is rubbing the pressure spring because it's no dead flush with the end of the crank. Also, post a pic of the adjusting tool setting on the PTO like when you were adjusting it.

I just checked it and it is right. the clutch does turn by hand when the clutch handle is engaged. but when I try to start the tractor the the blades are turning. and I hear a squeaking noise, does the pressure plate need to wear in to free it up?

are you being properly supervised by Shop Dog? it sure helps to be!

Correct gauge and correct position on the pto.

Success! I took the PTO apart hit the surfaces with the 80 grit, re-assembled, set the spring with the gage.

put all together and fired up the tractor!
the PTO stayed disengaged until the lever was activated!
Cut the lawn with no issues!
went through the 2 week high grass with no effort!

You guys are wonderful for all the help and advice!

Thank You!!
