Hey Alan, I am no pro here, and I am in a similar situation on my recently aquired 1970 154 Lo-boy. I was lucky and got a photo copied manual with my tractor when I got it. I also got a lot of information from the Cub web sight (www.cleancomputes.com/cub/index.html) including parts manual pages. I was able to remove my clutch without moving the engine forward the two inches (as manual states). I un-did the coupling from the motor and was able to slide the main shaft far enough ahead to get it out of the clutch disc. I was able to get a new disc and pilot bushing from the local I.H. dealer for around $50. My throw out, and pressure plate were OK, but I wouldn't be suprised if they are still available through I.H. too. My dilema was the main shaft had a serious vibration when engaged, indicating pilot bushing problems. When I took it apart I found that there was no pilot bushing present !! Now that I have begun putting it back together, I have found that with the pilot, disc, and pressure plate installed the shaft does not line up with the motor coupling very well (by more than a 1/2 inch), and I am not sure why ??? I started looking for signs of a bent frame, or egg shaped trans axel mounts, but don't see any problems. Now I am guessing that this may be why it ate the pilot bushing (or why it was intentionally left out). What am I missing here, any comments please ????? Thanks, Esev
