Default Graphite button on pto clutch
What tricks and tips do any of you have for installing the little graphite button on the pto on a 127? I bought it but not sure about putting it on without breaking it.

Don't use it. Get a brass one from JeffinPA on this site. The OEM graphite doesn't last long.
If you want to use it..... install carefully.

Install it with a small C clamp, it has to be pushed in straight to avoid breaking it. It's possible to put it in with pliers or channel locks but they break about 50% of the time.

Take a piece of sand paper and make a mini dur dur with it. After you remove the old one clean the hole with it.
Then unroll said dur dur and sand the first 1/8" of the button on a taper. Stick button in the hole.
Then use the PTO arm adjusting turnbuckle to set the fiber button in the hole.
After it don't go in no more, slightly tap the PTO arm with a with a hamma.
That is how we do it here.

dur dur?? Had to look that up in the urban dictionary. Cardboard tube in the middle of a roll of toilet paper.

Who knew? Is this an amazing site or what?

Concur on the method above, that's how I do it. But I am experimenting with bronze buttons, too.

I've found that if the PTO clutch center button is not smooth, then it will eat the new fiber button. If it is smooth, the button will last at least a couple years.

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.
