Parts Wanted I need a electric clutch for a Cub Cadet model 1811

[David Pristash]

I'm in Cleveland Ohio and just put a lot of time and money into the tractor and took it out to do some mowing and the clutch locked up. Any suggestion?

David, your terminology "locked up" is not an explanation we can analyze...Doesn't kick in,won't kick out, won't turn at all...could be mechanical or elec...??

The clutch will not disengage and there is no way to turn it off. With the belt off and no power to it it is very had to turn the clutch by hand and you can hear some grinding like noise inside.

Sounds like the clutch bearing on the crankshaft is bad.

IF your lucky, you can take it off/apart, clean things up and reset the air gap and be good to go. Link below to do that.

OR, if your not so lucky, you can replace the bearing with a little work.

Or you can just replace it, I have aftermarket and New Old Stock.

I have never taken one apart but I do plan on taking it off after I finish mowing. I will be gone Friday and Sunday so that might have to wait until Monday.

David, it does sound like a bad bearing ..but before you remove it would be good to test input wire to be sure you were getting 12 v at the clutch..

 

[mgonitzke]

If it won't disengage, this is not an electrical issue. Bearing is almost certainly seized.

I agree w/ Matt
Same thing happened to my GTX2154LE couple years back.

 

[gary noblit]

Matt,of course you're right..I get stupid when I fish too much...

The bearing on the pulley is locked up will not move at all. So that is the core problem I need a bearing.

After getting the entire mechanism dis-assembled everything else appears to be worn but still usable except there is a short sleeve that slides on the engine output shaft before you put the coil back on. It looks to be severally worn on one end.

The magnet seen to be OK So at minimum I need that from bearing do you have that? Also the facing on the coil is worn so it might be a good idea to replace that as well even though it works.

I took the old bearing to an auto parts store (Car Quest) locally, they matched it up, no problem.
Look for the #'s on the old bearing, should not be an issue finding one. Try the Bay first, found all mine for a 374 Haban build there last year

It is the bearing what are the prices for replacing?

 

[1811Cub]

You are seeking a 6206-2RS double sealed ball bearing

The pricing starts under $10 to as much as you are willing to spend depending on the quality of the bearing. I would not cut corners on it to save a couple of bucks.

It was the bearing and that has now been fixed. However the front rotor assembly (Item 4 is bent and needs to be replaced. do you have one?
