Default PTO on 169
My clutch brake fell off while changing belts the other day. From reading the diagrams, I lost the washer and the ring retainer which clips onto the thrust button. The thrust button is still in place but I see no way for a clip to attach.

The diagram here http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=9 does not show the thrust button detail. (I have type B with brake)

What am I missing guys?

My 169 has the same set up. The end of the button has been worn away over the years. last time i had it apart there was barely any groove left for the snap ring. I am sure its getting real close to letting go also.

Any problem with leaving it the way it is Diz? What's involved in replacing the button?

Hey bvanzalen Sorry i missed this when you asked a question. Don't know if you still need help or not but you would have to disassemble the P.T.O. to replace the button. I just switched my 169 over to the early style button and changed from the brake style lever to the wear button lever. here are a few pictures to let you see what you would be getting into.
This is just putting the P.T.O. back together. Getting it off and to this point was a bit of a fight.


Once everything is apart you are just starting with the pulley.


Add the springs, making sure to line them up as shown.


Then the thrust button. This is the early style. Yours would have the nub sticking up with the groove for the snapring.


Then the levers and bolts. Then it gets a little tricky. You have to grab all of this and keep it together while you turn it over.


This is what it looks like when it is flipped over.


Then add the clutch disc.


The 3 release springs.


And the pressure plate.


You have center the clutch disc and line up tabs with the set screw holes.


Then this is the way i hold it while i adjust the tension on the springs.
You just barley snug the vise just enough to keep the nuts from spinning. This way you are not trying to hold everything together, keeping the disc centered, and trying to hold a wrench all at the same time.


This is what it will look like before you start adjusting.


Then you just bring them down a little at a time till the gage just touches the same in 3 positions.
If you get a rebuild kit it has good directions. but you get the basic idea here.
Hope this helps.

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.
