Fiber PTO Button in use 12 years!
Here are pictures of my 100's PTO fiber button. It was installed on the last rejuvenation in 1995. I had to remove the button today to replace the PTO-to-mower belt. This mower has caught hell over the years since I use it to mow the lawn as well as a bush hog (and an occasional rock or two by mistake!).
I have bought several brass buttons, intending to replace the fiber button with a brass button when the fiber button wore out. I am re-thinking that move at this time. I am including a picture of the fiber button and a picture of the PTO wear button, which is holding up well. When I moved from NC to VA in 1999, the 100 was put in storage for about 5 or 6 years, then resurrected to mow the lawn ever since.
Today I replaced the belt and put the fiber button back into use! Mowed leaves today and tomorrow it will mow the yard!
