Calvin,

I had the same issue on my 782 electric PTO clutch. To remove the PTO center bolt I used an air driven socket wrench and the bolt quickly spun off. If I didn't have an air compressor I probably would have had to remove the hydro tunnel cover, have a friend put a pipe wrench onto the drive shaft to hold it in place, then use a regular wrench or socket to remove the PTO bolt.

Once the bolt was off, the armature/pulley assembly slipped off the crankshaft without needing a puller.

Jeff - Tell her that the hydraulic lift is worth a whole lot more than you paid.


You might want to clean the hydraulic fluid off real good before you sleep with it though

Matt G.,
Another great descriptive HOW-TO with pictures!

-- Thanks!

Eric T, It will probably need a trunion repair...click http://cubfaq.com/hydrolurch.html to for instruction on how to fix 'er

OK Guys-

If you go to Charlies FAQs and scroll down to #60, the wiring diagrams then click on 149 or 128 (two I'm dealing with at the moment) does it show a four terminal V/R or a three terminal V/R? I am being told this is a three terminal V/R and I'm confused (imagine that). I thought when you have a little flat piece of metal sticking out and it looks like a terminal, has a tapped hole as all the terminals do, then it should be considered a terminal. I have several four terminal V/Rs here and the fourth "terminal" (the one by itself) has "GRD" stamped on it. There is also a resistor connected to this terminal along with a wire that connects to the chassis of the V/R. The resistor is between the "GRD" terminal and the "F", or field terminal. I would appreciate an electrical gearhead giving me an answer as to whether this is a 4 or a 3 terminal V/R. I'm being told it's a three terminal from an accredited source.

Wayne, There are 4 terminal VR that have terminals for L load feeds the switch, B from the bat., F field, and A armature. Then theres the three terminal with B batttery, F field and A armature. with a ground terminal. If you look at the back of the 4 terminal it has the same resistor on the bottom but is wired to ground through the attachment bolts.

Dave-

Thanks for your reply. I think I understand it a little better now with much thought. There are actually 3 different V/Rs used: a 4 terminal with no ground term., a 4 term. with a ground term., and a 3 term. All are grounded through the feet to the chassis of the tractor. I guess the term "terminal" only refers to "F", "L", "B", and "G" (gen); this little quirk is what has thrown me.

Thanks again

Fellas,
A quick 127CC question:
On my mechanical PTO, do the three little compression springs (Part# IH-27452-D) go between the three throw-out levers and the cast-iron pulley? If not, where then?

I looked at the diagram on the PARTS LOOK UP, but the spring placement is just not clear to me...

Thanks in advance, Guys!

Ryan, they go on the back side between the main cast PTO body and the pressure plate. Their purpose is to push the pressure plate back from the friction disc when the PTO clutch is released.

 

[rwilke]

Thanks, Kraig!
So they go between the back of the cast pulley and against the pressure plate, with the clutch disc sandwiched between.
That makes sense. 10-4.
Why didn't I "see" that?

Must of been a brain-fart caught sideways.....

By the way -- if possible, maybe the Illus. # 2-90 could be added to Charlie's FAQ #7; since the text references it but it is NOT depicted there.

Thanks again, Kraig!

WOW - Those CC 50 inch decks really mow nice when ALL three blades are sharp and level, Yard looks like BREWER Stadium!

 

[wfizer]

Hello. Got a quicky.......will a k301 fit in a CC model 100?

 

[jbliler]

Matt, thanks again! Nice work on the picture repair manuals.

Dennis F.,
Funny, I say the same thing about my CC 42" deck under my 127.

Going tomorrow to pic up terry reeds 122 cant
wait I will use it as a parts tractor or if I fall in love with it I will have 2 122s.

 

[kmcconaughey]

William F., yes the K301 should drop right in, PROVIDED it is a Cub Cadet spec. Keep in mind that there were different oil pans and even different blocks that had different mounting schemes.

 

[jbliler]

Kraig, Like your method of computer repair! One more reason to like a good hobby!

 

[jbliler]

Would a hard drive into a cub 59 shreadder be on topic?

 

[jlucabaugh]

Could anyone help me out on what decals go on a #40 scraper box? I am getting ready to repaint mine and cant find any good pics of one.Thanks for the help.

 

[junderwood]

Here's mine in Red. The IH decal on the end is bigger than original.
