Cub clutch update

My wife, who is much more detail oriented than I am, got the video scope and a gauge and has determined that the throw out bearing in question has the center worn out. So a new one has been ordered from this site. Tractor split ahead!
 
Double check your pressure plate fingers when you get in there. If they have worn a sharp edge they will promptly wear out your new throw out bearing.
 
If I where you I'd order the whole clutch kit and do the clutch while you have it split and your likely to be $$ ahead by doing so.

By the way did you get something in the mail yesterday??
 
When I put a new clutch and throw out bearing in my cub which I got from Steiners. It only lasted a few days. When I took it apart the bearing was ruined. I contacted the supplier and was told the Massey Harris Pony and the AC G all take the same clutch and there is never a problem with Ac G or the Pony. Just on the cub because the fingers usually are not set properly. When it went back together and the fingers adjusted properly, no problems for a few years now. Good Luck and the fingers can be adjusted through the bottom hole, but its kind of tricky.
 
I'd get the newer type they last longer and work far better but I would also do the whole clutch job
 
The graphite is porous. It relies on a cheap grease slowly separating and the oil keeping the surface slippery. This time of year I would throw it in a pan and gently heat it on the stove to impregnate the bearing. Just motor oil, nothing special. This was the standard procedure at the IH dealer I work for years ago. We would take the one out of the oil filled coffee can and put the dry one in till next time.
