CLUTCH/ REDUCTION REBUILD
Engine & mount not shown for clarity.
Rebuilding the clutch is an easy process of replacing
the used clutch plates and tension springs, however,
there are a few tips and tricks that will help during
rebuilding and ensure the maximum life of the clutch.
Start by removing the 8mm bolt holding the drive
sprocket to the PTO shaft. Use the brakes to keep
the belt from moving and loosen the bolt. With
the bolt removed, inspect the bolt for inconsistent
spacing between the threads (bolt stretch) or signs of
damage. Replace the bolt if it is in question; you do
not want to have the bolt snap inside the PTO shaft
during reassembly. While inspecting the bolt, take a
close look at the lock washer. If it has become
fl
at,
replace it as well.
Remove both the motor lock-down bolts, loosen the
grabber plate bolts (page 8-3) and turn the motor
adjustment bolt clockwise to release the tension on
the belt. Once the belt is loose, slip it o
ff
of the drive
sprocket, then rotate the bolt counter-clockwise to
back the motor out of the chassis.
Remove the drive sprocket from the PTO shaft. It
might be di
ffi
cult to get the drive sprocket o
ff
and
require the use of a soft-faced hammer to help
persuade the sprocket o
ff
of the shaft. Later in this
discussion, you will be given a tip to help keep this
problem from happening the next time.
