    I just checked it and it is right. the clutch does turn by hand when the clutch handle is engaged. but when I try to start the tractor the the blades are turning. and I hear a squeaking noise, does the pressure plate need to wear in to free it up?

    147 Cub Cadet how Do I find out what PTO rebuild kit is correct?

    a lot of wear on that friction disc, I am pretty sure it is the original one from 1971. I replaced all the components. The PTO works great now. I am troughing the belt. I also replaced the two mule pulleys and I think the one Mule arm on the left is twisted which may be contributing to the belt...
