Gears Grinding in Cub

Posted by Jeff_MI on May 31, 2004 at 10:10:49 from (24.247.143.159):

A Cub I bought grinds the gears slightly (reverse and 2nd) when I shift; however, once I shift it into gear, I can change to another gear without problems if I keep the clutch in. I can hear the transmission turning a little when the clutch is in. Here's what I tried so far:

1. I replaced the throwout bearing. The clutch disk looked to be a good thickness, but I didn't remove the pressure plate to look at the faces.
2. I adjusted the clutch pedal until the throwout bearing was 1/8" from the plate. At this point, I could hear some "grinding" when I pushed the pedal all the way down with the tractor in neutral. The pedal also would push back on my foot. Also, regardless of what I do, the rear pulley always grinds when I try to engage it.

I adjusted the pedal until the grinding sound in #2 stopped, and that's where I am now. I now have a bearing clearance of about 3/16". It seems to me that the transmission is still turning a little when I put the clutch in, but when I put it into gear it stops turning; maybe it's not completely disengaging. I would like to know what else I could do to fix this, or at least find out why I'm having this problem. Thank you.
