Default Front PTO styles - mix and match?

I've got a PTO question for the experienced members and hopefully I'll be able to learn and teach others a bit with this post.

I checked out the pto styles/types information a few days ago and can see that my 1972 model 149 has a Style B front PTO with 2 spring plates.

There have been several EBay offerings for sale the past week or so with ads claiming the PTOs fit a model 149 (and others) but from what I'm seeing in photos they are either a type A PTO or some sort of half modified (single spring plate on a Type B Pulley.

If I understand correctly from parts numbers, there are two different sized PTO Bearings to go with the different pulleys.

Are these PTO Pulley/spring set ups possibly interchangable? Or, have some EBay sellers made "custom pto clutch pulley assemblies" which should be avoided?



Here are photos of some I've seen recently. My 149 has a pto pulley with the six posts and 2 spring plates. Neither of these images shows two plates.

Thanks for the help,

Okay, not one reply to this so far. Clearly I posted this in the wrong location. Anybody got a way to move the thread to a more appropriate spot?

I think an administrator has to move it for you Alan. But you can copy and past your post to the IH cub cadet Tractors (GT) section of the site, so you don't have to retype it. I haven't worked on a PTO yet (i'm no expert), but i have been looking at the rebuild kits. I wouldn't mess with any "custom assemblies". Chris Westfall (top of page) sells rebuild kits, he asks for you to specify WF or NF. Just my

It's looking like a choice between spending about $120+/- and the time to do it myself, or gambling that an ebay pto is right (at about the same price), or paying significantly more money for a rebuilt pto from a supplier. I'm seeing about $175-$185 and up for the ones that look the same as mine. Guess it all comes down to whether an inexperienced tinkerer can get that pto rebuild correct for less frustration than the extra $75-$80.

Mark Hellrung, one of our sponsors sells rebuilt PTO's for $130 + $13.75 shipping.
If you send in your old PTO there is no core charge. If you keep your old PTO there is a $50 core charge added. Mark does awesome work. Just something to think about.
This is a correct WF PTO.

Here is his rebuilt PTO:

Yes, DWayne: Mark Hellrung's products and price do look pretty good. He may be the go to guy if I'm not taking the rebuild it myself challenge.

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.
