NA73 70 #1 Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) A while back I ran across a thread that listed an epoxy/adhesive to use with clutch material and can't seem to find it. Did a search and not sure if I'm not looking for the right keywords or what, but the thread did not come up. So basically, my 520 will need a replacement of the clutch material in the not-too-distant future and rather than spend $100+ on a new clutch disc, I'd rather just get the material and make one - I can get the clutch material from a local place. There are 2 options for material, a high coefficient or a medium coefficient. I'd guess the higher-coefficient would be better for a PTO. Anyone have a recommended adhesive to use? thanks.

peter lena 8,590 #2 Posted March 29, 2023 @NA73 no advise on cement , but some on the reason for clutch wear , how easily do the belt driven attachments move by hand from the drive belt start point ? can you make them spin up without effort ? typically collective bearing lubrication failure , will turn an intended rotational movement point into a sled drag . my neighbor has nothing but screaming / squealing starts to anything he has . started with my mule drive bearings , same as those in mower deck , also pto cone drive bearings . like a hi temp 55o + temp rated / polyurea grease , that will not fail . detail every movement point , for function . just a suggestion , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJ Hamner 1,007 #4 Posted March 29, 2023 I think the adhesive you are looking for is GOOP "Automotive". Works like a champ on the PTO brake and the brake drum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,590 #5 Posted March 29, 2023 @RJ Hamner also used GOOP for shoe repair , with todays chinese foot wear , as the sole starts to get a little squirrely , you can feel it loosing up , used a small c clamp and wood squeeze pads over night . walk a mile in my shoes , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NA73 70 #6 Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) @953 nut yeah. that looks like the thread I was looking for. thank you. I'll take a look at the GOOP, too. @peter lena the mower spindles and snowblower all turn easily by hand and I try not to overload the snowblower. I also don't know how many people owned the machine before I got it. Edited March 29, 2023 by NA73 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
