As soon as the bearing let loose, the frame of the clutch bell started coming in contact with the windings and that was all she wrote on that. Good diagnosis my Friend! Sean~
You said something that the hood could look better somehow. We all know only the oddest people will wash equipment after every session, and wax the main areas twice a month.
Normally the clutches are not repairable but I have never taken one apart either so it was interesting to see in side one keep up the good work. Have a great day. God Bless!!!
Good video Bruce, I use the aftermarket," Extreme High Torque" clutches in my shop. The have heavier bearings and stronger magnetic pull in power. Have had great luck with them. Also they came with all the parts and I usually don't have to swap any parts. Thanks for the great video's.
I was taking mine apart at the same pace you were and we were both surprised that the thank him apart so easily thanks for posting man you help me out.
Thanks for many videos You have inspired me to persivere with my old Honda powered mower! After 3 or 4 carb dismantles it now runs sweetly. I can't understand why fuel filters are not installed as that would save on carb cleaner! Thanks again.
That pick that you are using Bruce,,,,, us phone guys (bell system employees) call that a spudger. We use it for all kinds of things phone related stuff but never in small engine repair. Another good video.
Good example why neat stuff is not always the answer. A simple move of a lever is much more durable. To put a solenoid in that environment is asking for it. Nice video!
The piece I cut off was a pulley drive not a clutch drive and I had to pull the motor to do it. Here is the video. ruclips.net/video/q6Lzm28zRp0/видео.html
The universal way to prevent the engine from turning (single or multi-cylinder, two or four stroke) without the use of an impact tool is to stuff an old starter rope (we all have one or several) through the spark plug hole. The piston will compress the rope almost solid and will not cause ANY damage to the motor. The rope can also be used around the neck of an obnoxious customer or friend.
I just took pto of a L130. I put a pipe wrench on shaft above pto with the jaw open to the back of mower. I used a 1/2" drive with a 5/8" socket and a cheater bar. I came loose easily. You don't necessary need an impact or to take off the top of flywheel. My way was simpler for me.
Great Video! My stx-38 doesn't run so fast in 5th gear, it Kinda bogs at the start. After watching this video I'm pretty sure it has a wearing clutch..
@@BrucesShop I just picked it up from the shop... They said nothing is wrong with it! I guess the problem went away! seems odd. It's a little hesitant in 5th but if u let off the clutch smooth it take off like a rocket. we will see in time
My Troybilt Pony don't have any of that stuff and like the guy said below a pull of a lever works just fine :-) I get a kick out of it when you go to 4x speed and talk, did Chip N Dale move to Red Deer :-) :-) You just keep talkin to us I enjoy it just like Eric O on South Main Auto does :-) You are so much fun to watch and learn from :-) Hey, I wonder if your Dad will be on the air for Canada Day? I like to work you guys up there then :-)
take one spark plug out or both shove rope into the piston that is down, not top dead up center, displace the down piston cavity with nylon rope , to displace the voided area , then when you torque the bolt to spec the piston, and the rope will have resistance, to allow resistance against the piston and allow you to tighten the bolt
Can someone help! I was riding my dads stx38 and I parked it and the clutch just stuck and I don’t know what to do know because it won’t move whence it’s in gear. My dad is pissed and I don’t want him to pay for a new one! FYI the clutch is stuck and we can’t get it unstuck.
On the chance that it could be cleaned out and work next time don't pull wire or anything from the windings on the electromagnet. Better to blow out dirt if necessary. Amazing that you can get that clutch assembly for $30.
@@BrucesShop I don't but the instructions for tightening the new one say not to use them. Must use a torque wrench, so have to block the motor anyway for that.
Ok Wade i can't do trouble referrals on line any more. Now that I am at 38,000 subs I only have so much time. I am sorry. I am spending more time answering troubles than working on my own troubles.
Great video as always Mon Ami............ What was that environmental fee on that invoice ???? Or should I ask Envirus Mental fee that a person from a government agency thought about for extra money in somebody's pocket LOL.... The new Xtreme clutches are awesome and come with a great warranty and the all the parts are replaceable just like elected officials in the government.......... LMBO......... Plus Tard Mon Ami can't wait for part 2 ...... .Oh BTW I need to get of my A$$ and start doing more vids on the complete overhaul of my 4 HP older Briggs again ~!~!
Sir, you Need a Inexpensive 4 wheeler Winch to lift these Lawnmowers up on their Butts to eye Level, then you can Work on them Easily, I am 71 Years young and I do this this to Remove Cutting Blades....
The detective work is better. Dont buy a french car same car can have 3 different break pads lol hows that work... That was amazing never seen the like. Very interesting hope I never need to do one
I was about 95% sure the wires I was pulling out of the clutch was the coil but this video made me 100% sure. Thank you for documenting this.
Glad to have helped.

Good comment Zippo. Usually you can hear the bearings going bad before they fall completely apart.
Thanks. As you know my experience with yard tractors is nowhere near yours but I manage to take on about 6 a year.
My saying is If it is already broken you can't break it.
You said something that the hood could look better somehow. We all know only the oddest people will wash equipment after every session, and wax the main areas twice a month.
Good to see you Zippo ~!~!
Normally the clutches are not repairable but I have never taken one apart either so it was interesting to see in side one keep up the good work. Have a great day. God Bless!!!
I thought it was in vain but I enjoyed seeing one from the inside. I absolutely enjoy taking stuff apart. If it is broken you can't break it.
You deserve a blessing once in a while ..Having the clutch come off that easy was a good one !!!
You know. They NEVER fall of for me.
That clutch is toast. Cool video Bruce! It’s crazy how a bad bearing can cause that much damage.
True. I can't believe it was still turning.
Thanks for sharing the useful technical operation of the PTO, I now have a better idea what to check.
Merry Christmas!
That is cool. Good luck.

Well thanks a lot. I don't do as many tractors as I used to but this one is turning out great. 1 or 2 more videos.

Thanks again.
There is a screen in the tank but with the tiny holes in the Honda carbs it isn't enough.
Thank you for this video sir . I enjoyed it very much. Now I believe I can get my pto off . Thankyou
You can !!!
Now the cats out of the bag. A degree in electronics. Now I'm jealous. These electronic problems are not my best thing. Another great job.
Right. I still spent most of my career wiring stuff together but yes I have a basic understanding on current flow.
That clutch came right off. It’s better to be lucky then good some times. Hope your parts come soon. Looks good Bruce
Yes I am working on it now.
Thanks I never took the time to take one of these apart. We just replaced them. So that's how that works.
Yes one heck of an electromagnet eh!
That pick that you are using Bruce,,,,, us phone guys (bell system employees) call that a spudger. We use it for all kinds of things phone related stuff but never in small engine repair. Another good video.
Right 33 years at AGT-TELUS for me. Did i say that?? It is cool that it is called a spudger all over North America EH !!!!
30 and counting for me, that is funny that you know it as a spudger as well and good to see that you have a continued use for that handy little tool.
@@len4338 I brought 4 home from work 9 1/2 years ago and this one is almost used up. Too fun.

They last longer than you would think. Crazy stuff i agree.
Good job Bruce can't wait to see the follow up.
Friday I hope. I will do one of the work I did while waiting for the switch and the clutch.
Bruce Pender cool
nice one Bruce
You Canadians are so darn polite a.👍
I hope so
I had a John Deere Stx38 yellow deck best machine I ever had wish I still had it.
This owner loves his.
Love those Kohler engines! Have a 15 HP on a JD LT150 and a 17.5 HP one on a JD L110
You know something I am not a big fan just because of the vibration. They do last forever though.
Cool I’m already ready for the next video adventure!
This was a fun video.... Thanks Bruce
Fun for me too.
Time for new pto clutch nice troubleshooting.
You got that right!
Wish i could have worked with you yrs back Bruce . Know i could have learned a hell of alot an had a blast to . Anyways :( .........
Seriously amazing that clutch worked as long as it did . lol
@@timmygilbert1371 Yes I love to work with people who like to work LOL.
@@BrucesShop Im wit cha ! lol
I love your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I have had a few negative comments but from folks that have never made a video. I remind them of that.
Bruce,
I would like to see the video, where you cut the clutch off.
I have run into one that needs to be cut off, and could use the help!
Thanks John
The piece I cut off was a pulley drive not a clutch drive and I had to pull the motor to do it. Here is the video.

You are right. I don't like doing that as I am afraid of dislodging a chunk of carbon. That is just me.

FYI the clutch is stuck and we can’t get it unstuck.
Do you have an impact wrench Air or electric? They work great.
Yes my dad is a contractor and he has many! Thanks!
On the chance that it could be cleaned out and work next time don't pull wire or anything from the windings on the electromagnet. Better to blow out dirt if necessary. Amazing that you can get that clutch assembly for $30.
There were wire pieces coming out before i took it apart. But thanks for the great advice.
It wasn’t the clutch that was $30 bucks, that was the ignition switch. Clutch has got to be a lot more.
Where if you know.
@@MikeClayton-sg7id I was going on the info in the video but he replied that it was the switch that was $30 which sounds right.
these clutches always come off easy for me,its the upper drive pulley that is usually stuck on
Thanks George.
Wow that great those things never come off.
Thanks sir!!1
On my B&S I have to block the motor from rotating to undo the clutch. To do this I remove a spark plug and put some rope into the cylinder.
That works. Do you have an impact wrench Air or electric. That works too.
@@BrucesShop I don't but the instructions for tightening the new one say not to use them. Must use a torque wrench, so have to block the motor anyway for that.
We pull the clutch button it bogged down it will look like he's trying to turn the blades but it won't go fast enough to do it
Ok Wade i can't do trouble referrals on line any more. Now that I am at 38,000 subs I only have so much time. I am sorry. I am spending more time answering troubles than working on my own troubles.
Waiting for the parts bill and part two.
Actually I think i will show what i did while waiting for parts on this tractor.. Is that OK?

Just a couple of bucks for the oil filter. I know cash grab.
Is the bearing replaceable?
Probably but the clutch magnet was toast.
Thanks for the reply
U better check the output voltage of the stator and regulator. Low voltage will kill a clutch.
I did. This is a 2 year old video and the tractor just came in for a tune up.

nice
Thanks EB
"Not bad if you say it fast",,,,,,, LOL
but if you say 29.99 it sounds like so much cheaper than 30.00 lol
I know My wife says that to me all the time :-)
What the heck is going on at 14:06-14:07. Pretty sure there’s a ghost in there with you!
I use an old electric blanket to lay on (fire proof). The wind flipped it. Doors are open. Wind ghost.haha
The detective work is better. Dont buy a french car same car can have 3 different break pads lol hows that work... That was amazing never seen the like. Very interesting hope I never need to do one
Well laying on your back for hours on end isn't my favourite ting at 61 years
That field coil is shot to hell dude. The bearings are worn out COMPLETELY GONE. REPLACE THE HOLE DAMN THING. U ARE WASTING YOUR TIME WITH THAT SHIT.
Well despite the rude comment i will answer i did replace the coil. At 21:02 I give the new numbers.
Glad that clutch just fell off for you!
ME TOO
lol if you're pulling pieces of wire out, they aren't going to make very good magnetic coils anymore....
Right
Junk
