John Deere LA145 PTO mystery
low

Hello All, I received a John Deere LA145 lawn tractor from my brother in law. I was able to get the unit running but it needs a new PTO. The PTO that was on their died and was thrown out. Unfortunately, all of the PTOs online for a John Deere LA145 are for a 1 inch diameter crankshaft. My John Deere Briggs engine on the unit has a 1 and 1/8 crankshaft. I am not sure if this mower is a frankenstein or if John Deere had multiple engine configurations. All LA145 PTOs online are 1 inch diameter. The engine I have is a John Deere B&S, so I'm quite confused. The tractor does not have a John Deere serial number anywhere, so I can't verify much with John Deere. I did look the engine up and confirm that the crankshaft on it is 1 1/8th inch https://www.thepowerportal.com/ipls/ipl.htm?md=4458770760E1~_IPLURL_LO.pdf Does anyone have any idea which PTO unit I need to purchase. The one I purchased, which was for a 1 inch crankshaft had a pulley size /outer diameter of 6.10 inches. Thanks!
