I tried to adjust the free play in the clutch pedal of out cub as it seemed excesive. When I did and then drpressed the pedal I could hear the linkage hitting something in the bellhousing. Am I right that the throwout bearing is worn out and allowing the linkage to go too far and strike the clutch cover or some such? These are a carbon bearing? How does that work? What are you greasing when you grease it. I haven't had one apart, trying to learn before I take it apart. Thanks.

Tom

As George states you can adjust the fingers on the pressure plate. While you are under the Cub take a look at the front face of the throwout bearing. If you see much of a groove in the throwout bearing - replace it.

Just over $50.00 for the throwout bearing.

You can probably fix it without splitting. The other adjustment you should make first is the height of the clutch fingers. Adjust them so they are all 1 1/4" above the plate... a difficult job, but it can be done. With my big hands, I have to use a gauge made with a drywall screw projecting 1 1/4" from the side of a small stick near the end.

A lot of guys have had trouble with aftermarket TOBs, mostly, I think, because they don't come pre-lubed and guys neglect to lube them. If you use one, grease it till grease comes out the little hole opposiite the zerk and then put a thin film on the contact surface. They will work out just fine.

Did one of those last summer, yep its a carbon one. They where not the best things but they did work. My guess is that it is shot. Not really to bad to split and put a new one in if you have a way to lift the engien

Sounds like the throwout bearing is worn out. They are carbon bearings and work and look like most throwout bearings. There are no bearings (ball, tapered, roller) inside just a thick round carbon disk which is the bearing surface.

When you grease the bearing the grease is absorbed by the carbon.

If you have split a tractor, the Cub is a piece of cake. Last time I split my Cub it took about 4 hours to split, replace the clutch, and throwout bearing, and reassemble.

Make sure the replacement is a genuine IH product not some after market piece of crap. My bad experience.
