Another PTO question
 

I'm having problems with the PTO on my 169. The PO had the turnbuckle adjusted too loose causing the PTO to always be on. I ordered a new button and spring washer for it from my local Cub dealer from part numbers that I got online at Cub Cadet. When I went to replace the parts I found that it looks different then what I have. When I adjusted the turnbuckle and aligned the three cogs with the pully the clutch would work normal for a few times and then they would fall out of alignment and would cause the motor to stall out. My old spring washer in front of the retaining ring was worn and kind of flat so I replaced it with the new and I now works normal. My questions are: Is this the proper button and does the brake need replaced because the hole is wallered out? Thanks.

I got a lever of off an early wide frame with out the brake and replaced the button with the early model. I took the parts off a 108 for my 129, dont know if the 169 is the same or not?
You could also weld the lever with the brake shut drill and tap it 7/16" and flatten the head of a 7/16" carrige bolt on the lathe, then drill the center of the bolt to accept the wear button and it give you a bit of adjustment to take up the slack where the brake parts used to be.

(A) Yes, that is the correct Thrust Button
(A) Yes, replace the Brake Disc

In the secound picture my original button has a groove for the retainer ring to hold the spring washer and brake in place. The new one doesn't or am I looking at this wrong:bash2:. Thanks CMA and Roland.

You can always check the current parts listing at.....Parts Lookup. Just type in your Model Number and go to the appropriate section.

Thanks Roland. Thats where I got the part number from and that is why I'm confused.
