groundhog47 347 #1 Posted October 24, 2012 Saw on a site a rebuilt/remanufactured PTO clutch disc . Has anyone ever refaced their PTO clutch. I see where you can buy the rivets and material in squares. It appears the facing also has a bonding/adhearing agent. Last one I bought was back in 80's and so far so good, but would like to get prepared! Gerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,344 #2 Posted October 24, 2012 McMaster and Carr sells clutch material and rivets. You would have to have a way to cut it into a ring as the material comes in sheets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes was lookin' at their material today, already have the brake liner on my get list along with rivets and other stuff. And by the way your saying is so true: Maynard says "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?" Gerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #4 Posted October 25, 2012 McMaster and Carr sells clutch material and rivets. You would have to have a way to cut it into a ring as the material comes in sheets. Could you cut it with a hole saw in a drill press? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,579 #5 Posted October 25, 2012 I might have the ring you need. You mean the one with the 4 holes like the c series use to engage the pto? Thanks, Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,192 #6 Posted October 25, 2012 I'll have the time to do it over when I retire but for now, I just need to have it functional. Maybe use a hole saw to cut the center hole, then glue and rivet it on and grind the outside edge off or hack saw it off ????? I have never cut this material so I'm just guessing that a set of snips will not work. Or pick up a used disc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsholler 54 #7 Posted October 25, 2012 Dunno if this is relevant, but my PTO clutch was slipping and I was thinking I would have to reface the disk. What I discovered was grease from the bearing in the pulley had gotten all over it. A little brake cleaner (and replacing all the stuff inside the pulley) and it works fine now.

Could you cut it with a hole saw in a drill press? Yes I believe that is possible with one of the expandable circle cutters. The material may allow band saw cutting. I'll find out soon as I get an order up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Jake Jake, I don,t need the clutch at this time, but once it went to metal (back in 80's) b4 knew anthing about WH. Don't want to get caught in that situation again. Saw where someone was selling a refurbished clutch disc and thought someone might have done this. Don't know if the material and rivets would be less than a used one, but mine is a C series and will keep you in mind. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I discovered was grease from the bearing in the pulley had gotten all over it. A little brake cleaner (and replacing all the stuff inside the pulley) and it works fine now. Yes, very relevant. Wish that had been my prob,mine was metal to metal (back in 80's). Just lookin'for an out just in case. I regularly watch the adjustment, now.
