illinilefttackle 399 #1 Posted August 20, 2008 B) Hey Guys! I ran across this when I was working on the horse this weekend. I was trying to find a safe way to hold the flywheel so I could put 50 LBS torque on the flywheel nut- SO- I engaged the PTO and put a strap wrench on one of the pulley slots-seemed work good until I started to reach 50LBS-then the clutch slipped. It seemed like it should be tighter-WELL-To solve the problem-I vise-gripped the clutch dise to the pulley-that worked. BUT- I tried to tighten the clutch adjustment-but then it dragged, I ended up getting it about 2 turns tighter. Is this enough force? Is there some wrong here-or is this normal?-Thanks-AL :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #2 Posted August 20, 2008 Wow Al, I think this situation has a few variables. Condition of the clutch disc is one. What I have done is fit a 1x2 in between the fins of the flywheel and then tighten. Yes I know that they are aluminum fins. But 50lbs. of tork is not very much pressure. I have also used a prybar which works even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #3 Posted August 20, 2008 Hi Al PTO adjustment is covered here: http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=3464 Notice it is pretty sensitive (e.g 1 turn past point of slipping). I think you need back it off to see if it slips under load. If so, and you cannot adjust it out then the clutch is probably shot.
