What year is your Pony Tiller? Mine is a Pony III I believe from 1983.

I will need to do more research and get back with you. It was past on to me from FIL. Tomorrow I will get the model number and the Briggs and Stratton number from the engine.
after more research I could not find year manufactured with pony serial number. The Briggs engine was manufactured in 1990. ci did find this for Pony serial numbers

I cannot see the stamped numbers anywhere? The engine code on my engine is 130297 1665 01 and the date code is 1983. I believe 99% this is the original engine. Is the stamped model number always on the 2 inch tube area?

Looking at page 14 at the transmission drive pulley and your first post picture of the drive pulley I would say yes.

Yes it's a loose nut. I know that's not supposed to be there. I'm assuming it should be a washer?

Yes a nice big thick steel washer.
You will find a blade washer will do the job quite well.
