I need to replace my clutch on my 7260 cub cadet. Has anyone had the pleasure and would be will to share any suggestions?
Did you ever get into doing the clutch work?
looks like I will finally be doing this in the late spring to early summer.I just did a full engine swap on my '98 7265 which should be similar.
You have to "split" the tractor. Search for that on youtube and find a .pdf of your manual.
1. Remove implements and cap hydraulics.
2. Remove sides, hood, and front sheet metal.
3. Remove dashboard sheetmetal and steering tower cover.
4. Unplug all electrics.
5. Disconnect and mark steering hydraulics.
6. Support transmission with jackstands or similar.
7. Support engine on mobile dolly like a floor jack.
8. Put wood shims on both sides between forward frame and MFD axle. So engine doesn't tip over.
9. Disconnect forward driveshaft.
10. Remove all bolts between transmission and engine. Get the top two under the steering column.
11. Roll the front away from the rear. THERE'S THE CLUTCH!
12. Replace the clutch, etc.
13. Reverse it all.
