Electric Clutch magnetic coil wiring repairs?

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had success removing and reinstalling the coil from an electric PTO clutch. The PTO on my GT-14 quit working the other day and I have determined that the positive wire where it enters the clutch has an open fault. If I push the wire in and move it just right the clutch will close. Paul @pfrederi did a great thread on the electric clutches but it didn't cover this particular problem. How bout it; has anyone had success pulling the coil out and putting it back?

There's one way to find out.

It's already broke so you got noth'n to loose by pulling it apart to see if you can fix it.

Didn't work well for me. I had the same problem. Clutch would only engage if I played around with the wires. Finally I removed the coil from the housing and tried soldering the wires in the coil, but it just kept shorting at the next weakest place. After soldering several different places I finally gave up. Called a local electric motor repair shop that would make and install a new coil in the old housing but the price was salty. I wanted to keep the machine original, so I was ready to pay to have it done when someone here offered me a used one. That was a year ago and I'm still up and running. Repair is worth a try though if you have a little patients! You could try an electric motor repair shop in your area. Perhaps they might be a little easier on your wallet! :D

Good Luck!!

The only thing being powered by this clutch is the Hydraulic pump for the front end loader. That pump doesn't need a clutch so I will probably buy a pulley to replace it and then play with the electric clutch later on;   got too many other projects going on right now.

I have removed the electric clutch and replaced it with a pulley because it only operates the pump for the front end loader.

Just my opinion, but "Terrell" is a weird dude, If he would act like an adult he would probably have a lot more followers. I have watched a few of his videos and found that he passes over a lot of information that should be included. However, he is better than most internet mechanical "experts".
