You could always switch rockshafts, depending on which style pto you want to use. As long as you can get the rockshaft bushing off so you can remove the rockshaft from the frame.

I will have to look real close when I get home to figure out what I have. Wouldn't changing the rockshaft also require changing the clutch assembly as well if it was supposed to have the brake shoe? Are the rockshaft model specific between the 86, 108 ect.?

Is it a bad sign if the belt running from the clutch pulley down to the deck is not running straight. To clarify: if you stand beside the mower and look at the belt which is running vertically between the clutch and deck pulleys it appears that the clutch is too far forward.

I mowed with it for probably 20-30 minutes Monday and everything seemed fine it just looks off to me. I have been working on a fuel tank leak and trying to get the charging system to work and have not really investigated anything yet.

I measured the pto rockshaft arms, the non brake style rockshaft arm is one inch wide, the brake style rockshaft arm is 1.5 inches wide, so there is a difference. Does your pto clutch have a thrust button on it? Either way, i would leave your pto engaged, so that busted nut on your rockshaft doesn't contact your pto clutch. Hopefully all you need is a wear button for your rockshaft. Pics would help.

Here's the link for deck belt alignment in the technical section of the website.

Here is the best picture I could get of the situation. From what I can tell I just need the wear button however the end of the rockshaft and one of the clutch fingers are damaged. The rockshaft measures one inch. I checked my serial against the PTO link and it falls into the type B clutch with out the brake assuming its OEM.

Ouch my neck...

Looks good from here as for your pto looks like you need just the fiber button.
Fixed your pix

Thanks for the comments. I really just got the idea to get a Cub because I am an IHC fan. I have many memories around old 1066's, 806's even a 1466 with a turbo if I remember correctly. My first truck was an IDI 7.3 andI refuse to get rid of my Powerstroke 7.3.

I have been into old Honda motorcycles for years but when the kids came I decided to get into something I could do with them when they got older and bought a 66 Scout 800. It's still a work in progress but I have really enjoyed it so far. After three days I think the Cub will be another addiction. The old stuff impresses me because it was made in the U.S.A. And was made to last, not wear out so you come back to buy the same thing again. I call it my old iron habit.
