I am pretty sure that my PTO front clutch is misaligned, but it does function well. I have only owned my 1972 #129 for a few months now, and use it weekly for pulling a trailer and mowing a very hilly and rough yard. Lately I have noticed that the clutch button is not centered (see photo) and after an hour of mowing, I see tiny bits of gold colored metal around the button. Also, I notice that one of the three "throw out levers" was dented badly, and one only slightly dented and one fine. I have checked the three phillips head bolts which secure them. Two seem functional, and one bolt seems to spin and will not tighten or loosen.

In summary, it seems like this clutch has had a hard life. Yet it's working fine. If this were your machine, would you replace some parts and align it correctly? Or would you just run it until it fails?
