Charlie, GE replaced the Open Air PTO contactor with an enclosed contactor such as used for armature reversing in later production.
If you have the HSM, it should be an easy swap. :)

I got the I5 out, did the spring greasing, topped up the batteries, and headed out for the first mowing and... nothing.
So I pulled the back off the dash and found all the relays and switches working fine, then pulled the cover under the dash and found I could make 'er go by tapping on the PTO contactor with a hammer.
Very annoying because taxes hit pretty hard this year, my compressor is dead, and I need to put a new roof on the house... stupid expensive part only lasted 40 years with no maintenance, grumble grumble grumble.
