pfrederi 18,771 #4 Posted June 10, 2020 Don't be using that gear puller on the floor. You are on the right track just screw that threaded shaft in and it will come off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,664 #7 Posted June 10, 2020 Well, again thanks guys for pointing me down the right path. Slammed that sucker on the anvil a couple of times and POW. It was all apart. Looks a bit differant inside than I thought it would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #8 Posted June 11, 2020 Well I took my clutch apart. Any thoughts on putting it back together.? I tested the coil. It still works. Doing a little research on it now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16 Automatic 53 #9 Posted June 11, 2020 I just had to fix mine. My ground wire broke right next to the crimp connector. I did some reading first on what other people had tried. I didn't take all the potting material out like you did, I left the bed underneath it so I didn't have to worry about aligning it. Someone stated they tried soldering theirs several times and it kept failing. So after I sanded the end of the coil wire first, I used a crimp connector like the factory did. I then filled the inside of the connector with solder. I then used high temp silicone to adhere it and pot the coil. Let the silicone dry for more than a full day and reassembled. It works perfect now and I probably have at least 30 hours of use on it. Mark 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #10 Posted June 11, 2020 @16 Automatic the only way I could get to the connection was to remove the whole coil. Mine wasn't perfectly in the center from the factory. I did notice there was some small plastic strips between the housing and coil along with an insulator strip between the connections. Going to finish the rewire while waiting for a good repotting material 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #11 Posted June 13, 2020 The coil is all rewired and placed in the housing. It all tests out fine. The epoxy is ordered. Now I wait. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #12 Posted July 12, 2020 The epoxy is supposed to finally be here tomorrow. I hope to get the electric PTO clutch repotted this week. Anxious to see if I wasted my time and money. Updates will be coming soon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #13 Posted February 7, 2021 The clutch has been repotted for a while now. Just getting around to putting it back together now 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #14 Posted February 8, 2021 It is now on. It seems to be working. I put a load on the pulley using a piece of wood wedged (levered) against it and to the floor. There didnt seem to be any slippage. Time will tell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,664 #15 Posted February 8, 2021 This is what I used for the potting material. Reasonably priced, easy to work with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
