Converting GT-14 to manual clutch

Recommended Posts

cafoose

I got some new tools from amazon over the past week or so and I got the stubborn crankshaft pulley off the GT-14. :banana-dance::banana-blonde::banana-linedance: I started to mount the manual clutch and still have a few modifications to make. :banana-wrench: I used the bearing separator and puller combo and it worked great! :music-rockout: All the pullers I got were OTC very good quality and good prices too! :handgestures-thumbupright:

It looks right at home!  We’re you having issues with the electric clutch, or was this a preference thing?

Nice job where did you get the puller set?

Nice work. I look forward to seeing the completed project.  I need another GT14 in my life.

Looks good, but why the downgrade?

Preference, I don't like how the electric clutch grabs abruptly. I prefer the gradual engagement of a manual clutch.

I will definitely post details of the completed project.

The crankshaft pulley was a little smaller so I took @Ed Kennell's advice and bought a couple sizes of smaller belts at tractor supply. I found that one two inches shorter fit perfectly. It calls for an 85 inch 5/8 belt. I bought 82, 83, and 84 inch belts and tried the 83 inch first and it fit perfectly :banana-linedance: I kept all the paper sleeves clean and I'm returning the other two belts.

Nice! I agree 100% on preferring a manual PTO. :handgestures-thumbupright:

I don't like the electric clutch either, but there are enough people out there looking for them that you could probably sell it for enough $$$ to pay for those nice pullers.

That thought has crossed my mind. I know it engages because I put power to it but that's all I know about it.
