I love a happy ending. Especially when it involves a tractor. Sounds like Bob deserves a cold one! Cheers! :drink:

Hey Cub5K,
How did you adjust the clutch, I was assuming Bob's suggestion referred to non CUT Cub's that had the PTO mounted on the front of the crank and exposed. Ours is (5252) front and mid and buried in the transaxle?
I did an original post about dash and PTO problems, I was too busy and sent this off to the Cub dealer. They were sure it was a dash that had overheated because of the failed muffler.
I mowed twice after the muffler and dash and loose throttle repair and on the third mowing, took a break, the PTO wouldn't engage. The PTO light was on with the PTO off and the hourmeter was out. I plugged the old dash in and nothing was working, plugged the new one back in, everything is back. I'll call the shop on Monday, but these problems are a nightmare.
I'll post as I make progress.

The PTO clutch is on top of the transmission housing. You have to remove the seat and fender to get to it but thats only a 10 minute job. There are 3 (or maybe 4??) bolts that adjust the clutch and you use a feeler gauge to set the gap. One of the bolts is on top and easy to get to but the others are down in further. The throttle tension adjustment is under the dash at the bottom of the throttle handle. Just tighten it.
