Default Where's the button?

I got to my 127 today and tore the front off to get the PTO lever out so I could replace the button. Take a look at that button, or the whats remaining of it. I've never used this for a mowing tractor and I'm glad I didn't need to. Thanks to PA Jeff for the new button and installation suggestion, it went in fine using the vise to press it in. It didn't take much effort to punch the old one out.
I went further down the PTO road and removed the PTO, bearing and collar so I could install the recently procured parts I obtained from Lew. I also used brand new clutch retainer allen bolts, long and short ones. After getting it all back together, I adjusted the engagement lever so that the clutch would stop and start as it should. It all seems to work just fine. Thanks Lew and Jeff!

That dark spot on the button is supposed to be at the 12pm position.

now i have a question to this "brass button" will it wear down easily and save a bunch of wear on the pto button part? i have a lathe at the shop and would be very happy to install one of those but i guess im kinda worried about the end coming out of the clutch wearing out quick.

When all is adjusted properly, the brass button only sees wear for a moment after you pull on the pto lever.
Rapid/severe wear happens when the pto lever is pulled back in the disengage position and the belt is loose or not on the pto.
Always engage the pto when that condition exists.

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.
