PTO Clutch: Does this look okay?
3 Attachment(s)
This is my first time rebuilding a PTO clutch (for model 149). I followed the instructions in the service manual and I used the guage that came with the rebuild kit.
Attachment 28311 When I took the old PTO apart, it only had one spring plate. However, the kit came with two. So I put two. Is this okay? Attachment 28312 I used the guage as instructed in the service manual. Attachment 28313 Here's a shot of one of the inside springs. Does everything look okay with my reassembly? |
Looks right to me.

Manual PTOs -two flat springs vs single bent tip spring
Hi guys.
I am about to order the parts for the rebuild of my 149 PTO. It sounds like I have the same as what SharkyOhio found - one spring instead of two flat springs. I find it interesting we both may have what appears to be a non-stock setup on our 149 PTOs. I looked around and read somewhere that folks use the PTO rebuild kit (759-3490) which has one spring with the bent tips instead of the kit for the 149 (759-3489) because the double springs tend to slip (even with the spring retaining knobs that are on the 149 clutch pulley). Does this sound familiar? Is it a common practice to rebuild the 149 PTO with the single bent tip spring instead of the two flat springs? Is it nonsense? SharkyOhio - how did your PTO turn out? Thanks Vince N. |
Yup, I think it's good too. Two nuts on the backside, all threads showing approx same amount-- should work good.

PTO Update
I installed the PTO pictured above on my tractor, but I have not used it with a mowing deck or snow thrower yet. It seems to be working correctly with the release lever, but I always engage the clutch when I test drive the tractor with no deck or other implement attached.
I have not heard of the center spring plates slipping and the repair manual shows the two spring plate setup as the correct configuration for this type of PTO. |
Looks good to me as well.
I have never had any trouble with the springs slipping. Nice work SharkyOhio :ThumbsUp: |
ok, thanks guys, I will go ahead and get the 149 PTO rebuild kit

I installed the correct PTO rebuild kit for the 149 (the one with two flat springs) and it works great!
Now I will turn my attention to getting my 44" mower deck working better ... and be on the look out for wheel weights and snow blade. I love this CC...I even waxed it :) |
