Clutch Assembly and Disassembly
Disassembly
Refer to Figure 5-3:
See IMPORTANT NOTE above before disassembling
clutch. After measuring and recording each spring
length, remove spring retainer nuts (#1), springs (#2),
and bolts (#3). Each friction disc (#4) must then be
separated from the metal surface adjacent to it. Refer to
the Parts Manual for a detailed parts breakdown.
Inspection
Inspect all parts for excessive wear and condition. Clean
all parts that do not require replacement.The original
friction disc thickness is 1/8" (3.2mm) and should be
replaced if thickness falls below 3/64" (1.1mm). If
clutches have been slipped to the point of “smoking”, the
friction discs may be damaged and should be replaced.
Heat build-up may also affect the yoke joints.
Assembly
Refer to Figure 5-4:
Reassemble each friction disc (#4) next to the metal
plate it was separated from. Install bolts (#3) through the
end plates and intermediate plates as shown. Place
springs (#2) over bolts (#3) and secure with nuts (#1).
Refer to Figure 5-4:
Progressively tighten each spring retainer bolt until
correct spring height “A” dimension is obtained.
Accessory Skid Shoe Maintenance
Refer to Figure 5-5:
!
WARNING
Excessive wear on skid shoes can damage side panels, cause
inadequate operation of cutter, and create a safety hazard.
Always replace skid shoes at the first sign of wearing thin.
There are skid shoes mounted on the cutter sides. Check
both skid shoes for wear and replace if necessary. Order
only genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride
dealer.
1.
Remove 3/8" hex whiz nuts (#3), 3/8" plow bolts (#2)
and skid shoe (#1) as shown.
2.
Plow bolts should be checked for wear and replaced
if necessary.
3.
Attach new skid shoe (#1) to cutter with existing
3/8" plow bolts (#2) and secure with 3/8" hex whiz
nuts. Tighten to the correct torque.
4.
Repeat on opposite side.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Figure 5-4. Be Sure to
measure and record length (“A”) of each clutch
spring before disassembling clutch.
