Does the retaining ring and bushing of the new one look like they would fit the old one?

Can't really say as I can not see the bushing or how it's held in place on this new one.

The 127-129 original clutch that I had in my Bigfoot I'm pretty sure takes the same bushing as the more common 126-24 clutch but the bushing is held in place with a retaining ring instead of a rolling pin on the 126-24. I just got parts for the old clutch so going to have a go fixing it up so I have a spare but the old bushing is really stuck in there.

Doesn't seem there's any reference to the parts for the 127-129 clutch in any of the Argo service manuals.

Last update guys....

Installed the new clutch and wow! Machine is running great now...feels like a completely different argo!

No more belts slap/vibration and after a weekend of driving the new belt I put on shows no wear..unlike when I was running the older clutch which would tear up a belt in 10min of driving!

If you have excessive belt wear, if your belt keeps coming off or inverting, and you have a lot of belt noise/vibration check the bushing in your secondary clutch as it's likely worn down.
