Replaced front wear button, PTO won't shut off.
 
I replaced the wear button on my 105 Cub Cadet. After adjusting the distance between the button. when I start the PTO is always engaged. I can't shut it off. I need help!!! Any ideas ? Guys?

When the lever is forward and there is space between the button and the pto it is engaged. When the lever is back and the button is against the pto it is disengaged. Sometimes it is confusing.

Sounds like you need to make an adjustment on your pto linkage rod. When the pto is engaged (it should have a very slight gap from the pto button to the wear button). BTW, if you aren't running a mower deck or something that uses the front pto, it is best to run the tractor with the pto running.

The adjustment of a mechanical PTO is more feel than actual measurement. I'm assuming you have an attachment on it for resistance- like a mower or snow thrower- or the PTO will never disengage. You gotta keep checking the adjustment with the turnbuckle on the side. Put the lever in the "off (disengaged)" position and if the attachment/PTO is still turning, put the lever back to the "on (engaged)" position, shorten the distance on the rod with the turnbuckle by 1/4 a turn, then shut it off again. Keep doing this until the PTO finally disengages and you've got it right, the tighten the nut on the front side of the turnbuckle.

X2 the PTO is going to spin regardless so it's best to run it with the pto engaged so it doesn't wear out your thrust/wear buttons.
