Charlie - no I don't think you're stupid at all.
Couple things tho - the kit on the left in your pic appears to have 2 springs and I can't tell about the kit on the right. Maybe the pic is reversed on my pc

BUT, now I'm wondering if CCC may be including the wrong instructions in these kits since you've had 2 people install the spring wrong.

Harry-You are correct. I pulled out the instruction sheet that came with my 759-3490 kit. I didn't use it as I used the manual. At the top it says that the instructions are for the 759-3490 kit. In the text of the instructions it uses the word SPRINGS indicating more than one twice. The illustration also shows the 2 spring clutch with knobs and the rounded end springs. Now if my instructions didn't match my parts I would ask questions but that's me. Everyone else's results my vary. Charlie you might want rip one open and take a look.

Doug - thanks for checking that. Now if Charlie checks and says "I was correct" that will be twice for me THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!

Geez, it's been almost 4 hours and we haven't heard from Charlie

Maybe he's on the phone with Cub Cadet.

You think I'm going to open up a kit to satisfy your curiosity?
Not gonna happen, LOL
I'll look next week when I do PTO's again.

And besides, I could care less.

Good morning, All. I've a question for those most knowledgeable about the Original clutches. A co-worker has found an Original that he wants me to go through It will be for his daughter as her first "real" tractor. I'll be picking the tractor up in a week or so and so far I've been told that everything is good except the clutch needs adjustment. I guess what I'm trying to ask is since it is a 1962 Cub Cadet there could be a possibility that it may need some new parts. How hard are the clutches to work on and what should I be looking for as far as wear areas? His daughter doesn't know she will be getting this and she'll be using it for pulling a cart maybe winter snow removal with a blade. TIA for any and ALL assistance. It has to last for a long time since she is only 8.

Marlin, put a governor on that tractor so she cant't go 'BRS' by accident!

I have a 62 and my 61 Original here . you might need to change the drive belt , I doubt the clutch is the problem they are strong and last good .
