149 PTO w/brake
 

Hi guys, I've been following your discussion. I'm new to the site and wasn't
sure if I could dive in with questions or if I need to create a new post? It seems the knowledge I need is in this group so here I go.

I'm working on a 149 that has PTO w/brake. When disassembled all set screws were stripped and it didn't have any friction disk. I'm ready for rebuild and just discovered the thrust button is damaged beyond repair. The slot for the spring washer/snap ring is destroyed thus the brake disk won't stay on. Also the brake shoe assembly is bear metal, I'm thinking it's supposed to have brake material attached.

Where I can source the thrust button 59 982 C1? Do I have options for restoring operation other than back to factory design?

Thanks in advance, sorry if I've derailed the thread, let me know

You would be better off starting a new thread.

I have a 149 with non-brake PTO. The deck stops fine without a brake.
If it were me, I'd make it a Type B PTO by getting part(s) 8 & 9 in the drawing and doing away with the brake parts (16-22).

That brake pad is $100.00. That’s on top of the PTO rebuild. I agree with Ironman.

Thanks Iron Man, if time allows I'll check out the conversion in the next few days, My son-in-law and daughter are based at Pearl Harbor getting ready to have her first baby. I'll have to take a couple weeks off to visit as I haven't seen them in 2 years. The mower will be here when I get back. thanks again, it really helps me with not having to reinvent the wheel (PTO) Jeff
