Inspect Clutch
1. Inspect steel and iron parts for wear, warpage,
and/or cracking and replace if necessary.
2. Clean any rust or dust from plate surfaces with a wire
brush or steel wool.
Assemble Clutch
Refer to Figure 5-8 on page 38:
1. Place spacer (#8) against yoke flange (#9).
2. Place one new friction disc (#6) against yoke
flange (#9) and hub flange (#7) against the friction
disc as shown.
3. Place the second new friction disc (#6) against hub
flange (#7) and the flat surface of pressure plate (#5)
against the disc.
4. Place the inside diameter of disc spring (#4) against
pressure plate (#5). Make sure the inside diameter of
the spring contacts the fins of the pressure plate and
the spring is centered on the pressure plate.
5. Insert bolts (#10) through yoke flange (#9) and
pressure plate (#5).
6. Assemble spacers (#3) on bolts (#10).
7.
Assemble compression plate (#2) on bolts (#10) and
install nuts (#1).
8. Tighten all nuts (#1) until spacers (#3) cannot be
rotated by hand, then back-off the nuts until the
spacers will rotate by hand.
Reattach Driveline to Implement
1. Attach clutch hub (#7) to the implement with the
existing bolts that were removed earlier. Make sure
the grooves on the input shaft align with the grooves
in the clutch.
2. Reinstall any shielding that was moved or removed.

IMPORTANT: Assemble small
diameter (I.D.) of spring (#4) against fins on pressure
plate (#5).
Clutch Adjustment
Refer to Figure 5-8 on page 38
The clutch will need adjusting from time to time due to
wear on the friction discs. Adjust the clutch by tightening
nuts (#1) until spacers (#3) cannot be rotated and then
back-off nuts until the spacers will rotate by hand.
Adjust clutch at the start of each season and whenever
the clutch begins to slip easily and/or often.
