Another great thread, Sam. I love my 149 and would have a hard time trading it away for anything. Soo stout and easy to work on. I also had the front pulley spin off after rebuilding, twice now even with Loctite and cranking it down as much as I could stand.  Once you do one PTO clutch, it's like riding a bicycle for any future endeavors. You have an earlier 1x8/9 series like mine with the serial # still on the rear end and the non safety-stop, non-interlocked PTO. Mine is #401xxx...
