The 520s that get parted out these days a replacement shouldn't be hard to find. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 465 #5 Posted January 4 Thanks for that link. I found a 520H take off on fleabay for short money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 465 #6 Posted February 15 Finally got the time to swap it out today. The disk was over due as well. The Fleabay one came with a worn out disk which I relined. WHX wanted a pic, so here it is. See how many cracks you can find. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,012 #8 Posted February 15 That thing was a grenade just waiting to go off. Ouch if it ever did. Somewhere along the line it must've been getting overheated from slipping of the clutch or belt or both at the same time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,092 #9 Posted February 15 Wondering if someone sprayed it with water while it was hot? If they aren't adjusted, they get far hotter than the engine temp due to slipping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,634 #10 Posted February 16 @Wayne0 THAT INNER NEEDLE BEARING , likes a HI TEMP GREASE , after an initial clean cloth wipe out ,like the lucas x tra heavy duty green , grease 550 deg flash point , just enough grease to lightly cover the bearing , excess flings onto clutch disk , avoid that . might also replace the outer bearing , which is sealed , Napa has it in stock . might also check out related mule drive bearings , for a re grease , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne0 465 #12 Posted February 16 (edited) Clutch Disk This is what I used. Held on with JB Weld Edited February 16 by Wayne0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,634 #13 Posted February 16 @Wayne0 remember more often than not , COLLECTIVE BEARING DRAG ON A PTO DRIVE CLUTCH , is definitely telling you something , often refer to rough bearings , lubrication failures , the majority of related bearings , can be easily cleaned out and re packed , with a 550 deg grease , also say how , my pto drive belt to attachment , moves with ease , no screaming clutch , or burned disc , thats what you want to verify with a function check . those heat cracks are telling you of such a driven connection . just a suggestion . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,092 #14 Posted February 16 @Wayne0 FWIW- I would never use that PTO bell again, short of a paperweight. As has already been said, that thing is a grenade waiting for the proper centrifugal force to be applied. It will make for an interesting emergency room explanation...

Wayne0 465 #15 Posted February 16 I was thinking of welding it up before I saw how bad it was! It's going in the trash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
