Miscellaneous Cub Cadet Garden Tractor Clutch Parts and Machine Shop Services |
Professionally Rebuilt Fully Assembled and Ready to Install Drive Clutch Assemblies for IH- and MTD-Built Cub Cadet Garden Tractors listed below. For general lawn and garden use, heavy towing, pushing snow or competition pulling, these may be the last clutch your tractor will ever need! A-1 Miller's also offers rebuilding of the plain stock IH Cub Cadet "Original" clutch assembly and OEM Cub Cadet garden tractor clutch assemblies! We can rebuild your clutch assembly however you want it, if you don't mind sending it to us. Just tell us how you're going to use your tractor and we'll build your clutch to suit your needs. We also offer individual clutch parts for the do-it-yourself rebuilders.
Clutch assemblies available for narrow and wide, spread frame Cub Cadet garden tractors for general yard and garden use. Parts include: New high strength 1144 stress proof steel driveshaft, new coiled/spiral pins, new aftermarket composite clutch disc, new aftermarket throw-out bearing, reconditioned release lever, new main pressure spring, new teasing [compression] spring and protective thrust washer, and both pressure plates resurfaced and trued-up. 3-pin drive plate shown in pictures shown above not included with clutch assemblies. All clutch purchases do not include the rear coupler or coupler arms and flex coupler. Purchase these separately, if needed. When ordering, please state model number of Cub Cadet garden tractor. Core trade-in must be in rebuildable condition with very few missing or damaged parts. *The price to build or rebuild your clutch assembly depends on which parts can be reused and which new parts are installed, and the amount of machining is required. IMPORTANT: Before reinstalling the driveshaft/clutch assembly in the tractor, apply automotive lubricating grease inside the pilot bushing and/or on the front of the driveshaft. Because if either is dry, chances are, the driveshaft can bind up in the bushing, the clutch may not release, and cause wear to both the bushing and driveshaft.

Cub Cadet Garden Tractor Clutch Drive Plates - [Top of Page]
 OEM
Cub Cadet 3-pin Solid Clutch Drive Plate. Designed for
IH-built Cub Cadet garden tractor models 70, 71, 72, 73, 86, 100, 102, 104,
108, 122, 124, 126 and 128 with the solid-mounted engine. These models
have the engine fastened directly to the frame with no rubber motor mounts.
If you want to use this type of drive plate in a "Quiet Line" model 800,
1000 or 1200 with the ISO-mounted engine, then a set of A-1 Miller's
solid motor mounts must also be installed,
making the clutch/driveshaft assembly rigid throughout so less wear will
occur to the clutch assembly. IMPORTANT: Before reinstalling the
driveshaft/clutch assembly in the tractor, apply automotive lubricating grease
inside the pilot bushing and/or on the front of the driveshaft. Because if
either is dry, chances are, the driveshaft can bind up in the bushing, the
clutch may not release, and cause wear to both the bushing and driveshaft.

 Cub Cadet 3-pin
Flexible Clutch Drive Plate. Designed for IH-built Cub Cadet garden
tractor "Quiet Line" models 800, 1000 and 1200, including models 1250, 1450
and 1650 with a hydrostatic disconnect attachment. All these models have
a rubber ISO-mounted engine to reduce overall tractor
vibration for operator comfort. FYI - To maintain balance of the drive plate,
one spiral pin is longer than the other two. Do not grind down! NOTE:
If this drive plate keeps breaking just after a few years of use, then either
a new set of rubber ISO-mounts will need to be installed, or a set of A-1
Miller's solid motor mounts and a solid clutch
drive plate (listed above) can be installed, making the clutch/driveshaft
assembly rigid throughout so less wear will occur to the clutch assembly
to lessen chances of repeated breakage. IMPORTANT: Before reinstalling the
driveshaft/clutch assembly in the tractor, apply automotive lubricating grease
inside the pilot bushing and/or on the front of the driveshaft. Because if
either is dry, chances are, the driveshaft can bind up in the bushing, the
clutch may not release, and cause wear to both the bushing and driveshaft.

  Clutch Drive Studs w/nuts and split lock washers for Cub
Cadet garden tractors.
NOTE: Adding three additional clutch drive studs is something that must be performed with precision machining. To install three additional clutch drive studs in the OEM clutch drive plate and have them perfectly aligned with the OEM drive pins and the three extra holes in the clutch disc, and to prevent the pins from being out of balance (out of circle) and to prevent wobble, the holes in the plate (and clutch disc) will need to be drilled using a Super Spacer or Rotary Table that's fastened to the table of a milling machine. Each hole must be drilled precisely at 2.5625" out from dead center and spaced exactly at 90º from the original drive pins. This will allow the 3 extra drive studs (and holes in clutch disc) to be positioned in exact alignment with the OEM pins. Just like the wheel studs on an automobile. If you want, I can professionally install three extra drive studs in your clutch drive plate and drill three extra matching holes in your clutch disc for $45.00 labor, which includes the 3 drive studs, plus return shipping & handling. I will need your clutch drive plate and clutch disc, too. |
Cub Cadet Garden Tractor Driveshafts - [Top of Page]
Driveshafts for IH Cub Cadet
"Original" Garden Tractor. NOTE: These driveshafts, with the OEM
factory designed machined-down 3/8" diameter support end, are originally
used with Cub Cadet coupler arm with the 25/64" center hole
(part # 759-3009). But with a 5/8" diameter support
end (A-1 Miller's improved design), the driveshaft can be used instead with
Cub Cadet coupler arm with the 5/8" center hole (part
# 748-3001). Due to the increase in material, less wear will occur to
the end of the driveshaft and hole in the coupler arm. Available
only in 1144 Stress Proof steel. (95,000 P.S.I. strength.) Not available
in stainless steel. Please indicate with 3/8" or 5/8" stub end.
Driveshafts comes with flat steel coupler arm welded to shaft and coiled/spiral
pin holes drilled. Coiled/Spiral
pins listed below.
Driveshafts for IH- and MTD-built
Cub Cadet Clutch Drive Garden Tractor models 70, 71, 72, 73, 86, 100, 102,
104, 106, 108, 122, 124, 126, 128, 580, 582, 800, 1000, 1050, 1200, 1604,
1606 and 1806, including models 1250, 1450 and 1650 with a hydrostatic disconnect
attachment. NOTE: These driveshafts are made to
order. When ordering, please specify model of Cub Cadet garden tractor and
possibly exact length and exactly where the coiled/spiral pin holes needs
to be drilled. Please indicate if you want the 3rd hole drilled for the main
pressure spring or if you are going to use a
split clamping/locking collar instead.
For competition pulling, it is recommended that a
split clamping/locking collar be used.
Driveshafts for double composite clutch discs are available. For a tractor
without a driveshaft/clutch assembly, to determine the exact length of the
driveshaft, with engine fastened to the tractor frame, measure between the
end of the crankshaft threads or bolt head to the input shaft in the transaxle
(or creeper drive input shaft), then subtract 1/4". This will allow an 1/8"
clearance on each end. Driveshafts for hydrostatic drive Cub Cadet garden
tractors are also available listed below.
IMPORTANT: Before installing the
driveshaft/clutch assembly in the tractor, if the drive plate has a bronze
pilot bushing, apply clean automotive lubricating grease inside the bushing
and on the front of the driveshaft. Because if it's installed dry, the driveshaft
may not release, it can bind up and cause wear to both the bushing and
driveshaft. No grease is required on the driveshaft if a radial ball bearing
is installed the drive plate.
Coiled/Spiral pins listed

| Cub Cadet Hydrostatic Drive Garden Tractor Cooling Fans listed below. Replace the OEM nylon cooling fan with broken blade(s) or a slipping OEM cooling fan (on the driveshaft) to prevent overheating and burning up of the hydrostatic drive unit. IMPORTANT - Be sure to clean any debris from the hydro unit once a year too, for maximum cooling. FYI - Heat radiating (especially in the summertime) from the hydrostatic pump after long use when the tractor is shut down causes the nylon cooling fan on the driveshaft to eventually harden and become brittle, which could cause the blade(s) to break off when the tractor is in use. Then the out-of-balance fan causes the driveshaft to wobble, which causes the rubber flex coupler disc(s) to wear and/or cause the bronze pilot bushings on the ends of the shaft to wear oblong and possibly cause the driveshaft to bend. The only way to prevent this from happening is to install a [clockwise rotating] aluminum cooling fan of the appropriate diameter with a steel fabricated hub adapter. [Top of Page] | ||||

IMPORTANT - It is highly recommended that both pressure
plates be trued-up (outer edge made perfectly round to reduce vibration and
pilot bushing wear) and resurfaced (clutch contact area made perfectly flat)
in a metal lathe or severe clutch slippage will likely result! Because new
OEM Cub Cadet pressure plates are made of stamped steel and are not machined
in a lathe whatsoever. If used pressure plates have not been resurfaced before,
then chances are, they'll still be thick enough after being resurfaced. Always
remove the minimal amount of metal to retain maximum thickness so they will
not warp when hot.
FYI - About 90% of the composite material in clutch discs will chip off were the holes are due to the following reasons:

A-1 Miller's Original Machined Aluminum Clutch Disc Kit. Includes
6-hole aluminum clutch disc, 5/8" I.D. split lock washer (goes between pressure
plates for smooth clutch engagement and guaranteed release of clutch) and
steel spacer (replaces teasing [compression] spring). NOTE: Use only with
the red (800± lb.) or yellow (1,150± lb.)
pressure spring to prevent clutch slippage. This is an alternate and
direct replacement for the composite material
clutch disc. The steel spacer to replace the teasing spring and lock
washer placed between the pressure plates is most suitable for use with the
aluminum clutch disc. There will be no benefit if these were used with the
composite clutch disc. Also, the lock washer works best with an 800 or 1,200
lb pressure spring so the pressure plates can place maximum pressure against
the clutch disc. Made of the high quality 6061 alloy; medium-grade hardness
aluminum available. The 1-1/8" center hole in disc is bored dead center,
and the circumference is turned true in my metal lathe, then the 6 drive
holes are precision-drilled using my 8" super spacer with a 6-notch masking
plate on the table of my milling machine. Unlike some of my competitor's
copycat part, the drive holes in my aluminum clutch discs are drilled 13/32"
for minimum clutch disc noise/rattle and less chance of breakage to the drive
pins/studs. An ingenious and innovative concept by Brian Miller. Please
accept no advertised copycat products of this kind. (But I do appreciate
them acknowledging my ingenuity and intelligence.)

 Cub Cadet Garden Tractor
Clutch Disc Anti-Rattle Spring. Reduces annoying clutch disc rattle on drive
pins/studs and reduces wear to drive holes in clutch disc. Although one spring
may be sufficient to reduce clutch noise, it may be necessary to install
three springs (one for each pin/stud) for 100% reduced clutch noise. Can
be used on composite or aluminum clutch discs. NOTE: Recommended for up
to 4,000 RPM engines. Not for use on high RPM or wide open throttle competition
pulling tractors due to normal engine harmonic vibrations that travels out
into the clutch assembly, this can create the possibility of the spring(s)
becoming dislodged, which could become a hazardous airborne projectile if
clutch is not properly shielded 360º. So if possible, install these
springs with the coil between the clutch disc and drive plate, opposite that
is shown in the picture to the right, to prevent them from coming off.

 Teasing [Compression] Spring
and Protective Thrust Washer. Spring allows for smooth engagement of the
fiber clutch disc, and the washer prevents the spring from breaking. Fits
all models of Cub Cadet clutch drive garden tractors, including Cub Cadet
garden tractor models 1250, 1450 and 1650 equipped with a hydrostatic disconnect
attachment, and Cub Cadet "Original" garden tractor (thrust washer not required).
The thrust washer goes between the rear slotted pressure plate and teasing
spring. Purpose of thrust washer is for each time the clutch is engaged,
the rotating motion of the throw-out bearing will sometimes cause the blunt
end of the spring to "catch" in the slot of the rear pressure plate, which
twists the spring a few thousandths of an inch. Overtime, the twisting creates
metal fatigue in the spring and could cause it to eventually break, even
when used with the cup/spacer listed below. The thrust washer prevents this
from happening. An ingenious and innovative concept by Brian Miller. Please
accept no advertised copycat products of this kind. (But I do appreciate
them acknowledging my ingenuity and intelligence.)
FYI: There is a custom-made sleeve
available from an aftermarket vendor that goes over the teasing spring (much
like the cup/spacer listed below). But being the coils of the teasing spring
does not expand outward when the clutch is engaged, this sleeve will not
prevent the spring from possibly twisting and breaking. Therefore, it's been
proven to use the protective thrust washer instead.

 Cup/Spacer for Teasing
Spring listed above. Specifically used in Cub Cadet clutch drive garden tractor
models 580, 582, 800, 1000, 1200, 1535, 1604, 1606 and 1806, including Cub
Cadet garden tractor models 1250, 1450 and 1650 equipped with a hydrostatic
disconnect attachment. IMPORTANT: When installing this part on
the driveshaft, the wide/flared-end faces forward and the narrow end goes
against the throw-out bearing. And do not install this part in any other
model of Cub Cadet garden tractor then listed above in an attempt to prevent
the teasing spring from possibly breaking over time. (Use the protective
thrust washer listed above instead.) Doing so will position the throw-out
bearing further back on the driveshaft than in the original position and
not allow the clutch disc to either fully disengage or disengage at all.
|
 Cup/Spacer for Teasing Spring
listed further above. Specifically used in Cub Cadet garden tractor model
1050; 2" overall length. Comes with installed grease fitting.
IMPORTANT: When installing this part on driveshaft, the wide/flared
end faces forward and the narrow end goes against the
clutch release/throw-out bearing. And
lubricate this part with an
automotive grease gun once a year for
preventive maintenance. Because grease cost a lot less
than any mechanical part(s)!
|
 Zerk
Grease Fittings. If there is no grease fitting in a [one piece] wheel
hub or tubing with a rotating shaft, then one will need to be installed so
the [unshielded] bearings/bushings or moving part will last longer when
lubricated once a year with automotive grease. Do not use a grease fitting
on split rim wheels. Remember - the moving part will likely wear more than
the stationary part. To install a grease fitting, drill a 13/64" hole,
and use a 1/4-28 UNF TAPER hand tap to cut new threads for installation of
the fitting. Click or
tap here to learn how to professionally drill for and cut new threads.
FYI - If a grease fitting needs to be used in a thin-wall steel tubing (that's
too thin to cut deep enough threads into so the threads on the grease fitting
will not interfere with the inner shaft) to lubricate a moving inner shaft,
weld a
jam nut with 1/4-28 UNF threads on the tubing, then drill
a 3/16" hole through the nut/tubing, and install the grease fitting (with
short threads) in the nut. And remember - grease fittings provide
preventive maintenance only when people think to use them
regularly. Because grease cost less than any major repair of equipment.

 OEM
Cub Cadet Garden Tractor Clutch Compression Springs. Suitable for
general lawn and garden work only; not recommended for competition pulling.
Approximately 6-3/4" to 7" uncompressed length.
High Pressure Clutch Compression Springs; 800± lb. "Red" Spring, and 1,150± lb. "Yellow" Spring. Fits all models of clutch-drive Cub Cadet garden tractors. When installed, either spring should be compressed to 4-1/2" in length. These springs are approximately 3/4" shorter in length than the OEM spring listed above, so if using the 3rd coiled/spiral pin hole in the middle of the driveshaft at its OEM location, a 3/4" steel spacer will need to be added behind the spring so the spring so it can apply full pressure against the clutch disc. When installing either of these springs, use the original 3rd coiled/spiral pin hole location on the driveshaft, which should measure 9-1/4" - 9-3/8" from the very front of the driveshaft, or install one or two split clamping/locking collar(s) at 9-1/4" - 9-3/8" from the very front of the driveshaft with a center support pillow block bearing and brace to prevent driveshaft wobble and reduce chance of driveshaft breakage at wide open throttle operation. And depending on type of clutch disc used, the Red spring is suitable for Hot-Stock and NQS Stock-Altered tractors, and the Yellow spring is suitable for 16hp Missouri Super-Stock, Pro-Stock and Modified tractors. Ideal for use with my aluminum clutch disc or double composite clutch disc setup. With either of these stiff springs, the OEM clutch release lever should be extended 3" for easier depression of the clutch/brake pedal. Dimensions of each spring: 5/8" I.D. x 1-1/4" O.D. x 6" length.
|
 5/8"
I.D. One-Piece Split Clamping/Locking Collar. With the drilled 3rd
coiled/spiral pin hole not present in the driveshaft, this part stiffens
the driveshaft in the middle 100%, which helps to prevent driveshaft breakage
at 4,000 RPM (without a center pillow block bearing and support brace installed),
and when used with a center pillow block bearing and support brace, this
locking collar prevents the driveshaft from "wobbling around", which could
break at open RPM. Comes with two Allen head screws that secures clamp together
and provide a very tight uniform 360° grip around the driveshaft. NOTE:
With the hardened and "slick" surface of a stainless steel driveshaft, it's
best to use two one-piece split clamping/locking collars because just one
locking collar could slip rearward on the driveshaft when the clutch pedal
is depressed. $3.00 each, plus shipping & handling.

 Driveshaft
Center Support Pillow Blocks with self-aligning 5/8" ball bearing and
high quality cast iron housing. For use in all models of IH- and MTD-built
Cub Cadet competition garden pulling tractors. 3-3/4" center to center mounting
holes. Use with steel support brace listed below
Ê. NOTE: Either of these are
required only for Cub Cadet competition pulling tractors with an engine that
run at high RPM or wide open throttle to stabilize driveshaft from wobbling
and prevent breakage. Install just behind main pressure spring on driveshaft.
See pictures of correct installation below.

 Clevis/Pivot
Pins for Cub Cadet garden tractor clutch release
lever bracket. The 90º/angled/L-shaped clevis/pivot pin is an
alternative to using the OEM straight clevis/pivot pin or a grade 8 bolt
and lock nut. The short part of the L-shaped pin makes contact with the pedestal
assembly (narrow frame tractors) or hanger bracket (wide/spread frame tractors)
to prevent the holes in the hanger bracket and release
lever from wearing oblong due to constant spinning of the OEM straight
pin from normal engine vibration. The L-shaped pin lessens clutch noise/rattle,
reduces wasted free-play in clutch pedal travel, maintains proper release
lever to throw-out bearing adjustment, and allows for smoother and less "sloppy"
clutch operation. The 90º/angled/L-shaped clevis/pivot pin is an
ingenious and innovative concept by Brian Miller. Please accept no advertised
copycat products of this kind. (But I do appreciate them acknowledging my
ingenuity and intelligence.)

toss it in the trash after they remove the contents. And being there is no
USPS tracking number outside the US, all I can do is make sure I write your
address correctly on the customs form and on your package.

block bearing. When securely fastened or welded to Cub Cadet frame, this
brace will not crack or break, even under severe vibration. NOTE: Before
fastening or welding this brace between the Cub Cadet garden tractor frame
rails, first install pillow block bearing w/housing on assembled driveshaft,
connect driveshaft to transaxle and engine, tighten engine mounting bolts
to tractor frame, then fasten this angle brace to pillow block bearing. This
will guarantee the pillow block bearing and brace is in perfect alignment
and centered with the driveshaft. Otherwise, the driveshaft will be noisy.
