Thank you I was looking all over for a the picture of that bracket that anchors the clutch. The bolts online shared somehow so I was looking for a picture of it so I can put back together so thank you
Great video very informative. I have to wander if clutch plates springs were starting to get crowded and just hanging and not releasing when switched off that would drag on belt and over heat everything..
Some manufacture's recommend: Use torque wrench to tighten (55 ftlbs), no lock tite. Last Step: Before use, Burnish new clutch/ Roter and armiture come together as both need to be broken in. Put deck into top position - Start tractor, Briefly run at 3/4 throttle, run /disengage for 10 times. Thank you.
I tighten to 60 ftlbs. If you use anti-seize, you would torque to 45 ftlbs. I generally remove a spark plug and use a short rope to block the piston. I never use an impact to remove/install the bolt. I engage at a slow speed a few times and work up to full speed to burn in the clutch. I'm not sure that it makes any difference! Taking the clutch off and cleaning it at the end of the year would probably extend the life but that goes for about any piece of equipment, if you have the time.
Correct.Too much pressure is not good. I have a 56" Exmark Lazer Z and I believe the torque for the crank bolt was 50 foot pounds or so. Also,any clutch like that should be broken in before using the machine or clutch life is shortened. Nice video .
@@speed_demon420Deck up, 1/2 throttle, start blades let them come up to speed then stop blades and let them come to complete stop, repeat that 10 times and it’s ready to go.
Don’t know if you’re still around, but my ex mark started making some noise back there and it bogs down when mowing. Sounds like it’s coming from the clutch area little bit of a chirping sound. Did yours do that and what do you think? Thanks

I have always heard half throttle and 10 times for sure. Some as many as 30 time. They all have torque specs.

Have you ever have a fuse burn out and burn the fuse box? What is the fix?
Thank you that helped
Glad it helped
Should have used a torque wrench. Premature bearing wear on the clutch.

My mechanic was charging me $800 for the clutch + installation. On a 32 inch toro pro line. I got the clutch online for $150
