Mine was cupped and the outer 1/2" or so was all that was making contact. Took it to a machinist and had it turned like a brake rotor. Problem solved... The PTO clutch on my 417H was starting to slip when the 48" deck was in some heavy grass. I shortened the rod and had so much pressure on the clutch, that I could see movement in the steering tower when I engaged the PTO. It still slipped. I took the bell off today and sure enough the clutch plate is warped just like yours. I dug through a bucket and found a flat one....problem solved. Thanks Mister J. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
