Default Wide Frame PTO Rockshaft
Can anyone tell me for sure if the front PTO rockshaft is the same between a brake type and a non brake type PTO on a Wide Frame tractor?

It seems like there should be some difference in spacing between the "tang" and the two types of PTO.

I can't answer the question directly, but I think I'd just use either the fiber button or the brake arrangement, depending on the rockshaft I had. My 149, for example, came with one or the other, depending on when it was made. My particular unit was a 1972 so it does not have the brake.

Sam, there is a difference between the 2. The hole where the brake shoe attaches to the rockshaft is recessed slightly on a brake type rockshaft. On a non brake rockshaft, that hole is flush with the rockshaft arm.

Along this same line, my neighbor down the road has a 169 with the Brake Shoe cup bolted to the PTO Clutch Rockshaft. However his 169 is missing the entire PTO pulley assembly, including the IPTO brake disc. I'm thinking he might save $75 by getting a non-brake style PTO pulley assembly but I don't know if a bronze wear button will fit the brake style PTO clutch rockshaft. Any ideas?

I removed the brake type from my 169 not long after i got it.
I much prefer the fiber button type.
I changed the rockshaft
You can see the arm is welded more on the front of the shaft in this first picture. its off of the 169.



This next picture is the one i installed from a earlier model Cub.



One on the left is the brake type. One on the right is the button type.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
