Mine is the GDI soft start clutch controller for Ogura clutches. I bought direct from them. Cost about $60, though that was almost 6 years ago.

@midpack  just think that softer start  is so worth it , most of the decks I see , are solid neglect  , my referral to  mule drive  belt , access , and movability , will easily let you  see and feel  the  very high  belt drag , when I go thru  deck bearings , for clean out and re grease , I also do the mule drive bearings , and needle bearing in pto cone . the related spin up is  amazingly smooth / easy , that is also assisted , by the heim joint  on the pto lever shaft  end , pto lever  starting point , washer / grease , snug up , solid / smooth / easy . pete

Electric PTO are steel

Reference pics, this one that came off of a 800 hr plus machine. No history. It wouldn't consistently start the blades, just squeal.

 

Looking at the mechanics of this thing, It is kind of odd. Just not two flat surfaces going together. The center of the finger section is very flexible. The magnetic field pulls and the center would touch first and continue outward to the edge. The three circles have ridges that mate up the the slotted areas of stationary disc, (tongue and groove). These areas get worn the outer raised ring will rub grove in the opposing disk at the rivets. The rivet grove determines if the game is over. 

 

I figure many banzai starts!

I used an Ogura brand, looks like the cost has more than doubled... 😕

 

Worth every penny... :thumbs:
