Farmall Cub

Okay, so I'm crusing along cutting my lawn with my two-day old cub and along with the blade knocking around I hear a "ping" and the blade pully goes south. I stop my new acquisition and find the pully a few feet behind me. I placed it back onto the shaft but I don't see any other hardware laying around that retains the pully onto the blade shaft.

What am I missing?

BTW, grass height was only a few inches. Are these things lightweight duty?

Thanks-

Mike

Which mower do you have and are you talking about the pulley coming off the mower shaft or the pto pulley coming off the pto shaft?

It's the pully coming off the mower shaft on top of the mower deck. It's a single-belt mower which I guess makes it a Woods. It doesn't extend beyond the wheel base, though.

Sounds like a Woods 42" deck. The center of the spindle shaft should be tapped for a 3/8" bolt. The pulley goes on the shaft and is held by a 1 1/4" long bolt with a lock washer. The manuals for Woods mowers are on Rudi's site. If you haven't already bookmarked Rudi's site, you will want to. It is a real wealth of information.

You're a wealth of info too, Bigdog.

Thanks a load,

Well, at closer examination it looks like there's a few springs, metal keys and a cap that goes on top of the pully before the bolt that is missing too. Sucker sheared the bolt right off so I gotta get an easy-out. Hope this isn't going to be a regular thing.

Mike, good luck with the easy-out. You might try other means to remove the bolt. Easy-outs are notorious for not being easy outs. Depending on what you have available to work with you can try things like welding a nut to the sheared off bolt shaft or using a left-hand drill bit to get the bolt out.

Got around to taking some shots of the cub. Here's the mower where the pully came off. Not sure where I'm gonna find the missing springs and keys for the bottom of the pully though.

Those parts should be available from any Woods dealer.

Is this a Model 42C Woods mower?

After looking at the pictures on your other post, it appears to be a C 2 mower. Check this link:

Looks just like my Danco C2

Shucks, I just found parts for a Woods at cngco.com, too,

This looks to me like an IH model C-2 made by Danco.

I see a welder in the background in a picture on the other thread. You may be able to remove the broken cap screw by placing a nut over it and reaching into the nut with the welder to weld the broken screw to the nut.

If it is a C-2, there were 4 clutch springs (474031R1) each with a spring (474032R1) that fit into the bottom side of the sheave. These parts form an overrunning clutch for the deck. The cap on top of the sheave is 474034R91. Looks like all these parts are still available. The pins run $5+, the springs about $3 and the cap $17. Thos are about what Glade and Grove shows on their web site, which looks close to CaseIH suggested retail. You may want to go back to where it fell apart and do a little looking.

By the way, the capscrew is 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 and I think I would use at least grade 5.

Can you borrow a metal detector. I always find drink pull tabs from years ago when they did not stay on the can.
