Denny-

"I have the brochure showing they made the 1806 3-speed IH rearend with creeper..."

Did the 1806 have a cast-iron transmission case, or was it the later aluminum version?

If it was cast-iron, that would be a SWEET RIDE at a PD!

Jim Larson thanks. I did measure the thickness of my friction disk and it was 3/16 like yours. So I guess that's correct for my Mod 125. Today I will try to look down a set screw hole while I install the clutch to see when I pass by the end of the bearing.

NIck H. Sparks flying out the chute of the snowthrower? Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Fire and Ice".

Todd H. Nice find on the 147.

Terry R. I second what Art A. said. Sweet looking 104.

Bruce N. Good news to hear. Angel and I will still be keeping you and your family in our prayers.

ART - I think that brochure is in the shop. I'm going out there to "tinker" I'll see if I can find it but I'm sure the castings were aluminum.

It would have been a great tractor for ground engaging implements but not having a hyd. system would have been a deduct in "Coolness" points.

Hey Art...CCC (MTC/CC) switched to Cast Aluminum in 1982 & didn't return to any Cast Iron till about the 2500 series in the 21st Century!!...

Denny-
I found a scan of the 1989 CC brochure on a CD I have here, but the picture of the 1806 is blocked by a "poser" in front of the tractor. Looking at the back of the brochure though, it lists the tractor weight as 4lbs lighter than an 1811, so it must be an aluminum tranny.

Myron-
I know, I know..... <font size="-2">"Pay attention ART!!!"</font>
LOL!

Double checked and then installed the front PTO clutch again today. The clutch was for the first time releasing 95% of the way. It would still spin my snow thrower auger very very slowly when disengaged. Don't ask me why but it didn't look quite right so I bumped it with a rubbber mallet and it kind of popped as it visably slid back a little and you guessed it it won't release now. I imagine that I had not seated it all the way and when it popped it did. Because it was releasing almost completely before tells me I am close and this little bit of travel made quite a difference. It's got to bumping something behind. I would like to move the basket back 1/4 inchbut the bolt for the startes arm is in the way.Since I cannot move the basket back should I try to move the bearing about 1/4" forward of the shaft? I don't think I need much to make it work. One last thing not being a machinest here is a picture of the split ring inside the clutch. It looks like the ring in the parts look up but I couldn't help wonder if it is right as I see no way to put snap ring pliers on it if I needed to take it out. I think my next try wil be to set a disassembled clutch on the shaft and see how it comes up against the snap ring. Sorry to be such a pain with this clutch. I have appreciated all the comments. In order for this to have worked before the PO may have tightened the set screws on the bearing itself rather than behind the bearing?
