My first attempt to make repairs to a clutch. And, I'm wondering why they call it a throwout bearing when there is no bearing in the throwout piece. There is a carbon-like material on the front face of the throwout - is this front-face material considered a bearing or is there ball or needle bearing under this carbon-like material? I assume there are two pieces to the throwout bearing and the carbon-like material piece was pressed into the throwout piece. This carbon-like material will not rotate in the throwout piece. Is it suppose to? Is the carbon-like material piece replaceable or does one have to purchase the whole assembly? The carbon-like material is dished, maybe 1/16", from wear on the front face. Does this matter or can the face be machined flat?
 
No its a graphite bearing and you can get a new one at the dealers. Be sure to grease it so it doesent wear. Cubs also used them but they arent the same as the C
 
A "bearing" is anything that "bears" a load.

Doesn't have to be steel. Doesn't even have to be metal. Doesn't have to have balls. Doesn't have to have rollers. Doesn't have to have needles.

If you keep the graphite throwout bearing lubed with the cheapest garbage grease (so the oils separate out and soak into the graphite), they work every bit as well as a roller/ball style throwout.

You normally don't spend a whole lot of time holding the clutch pedal down. If you do it may be worth it to upgrade to a roller/ball style.
 
Yes, I'm shocked to see the good condition of the clutch assembly when I think of how many thousands of hours this tractor has operated - I know because I was the driver most of those hours years ago.
Took the pilot bearing out this morning and it doesn't look like it's even been used. I'll be replacing pilot & throwout bearings & complete clutch assembly and the driven disk. I wondering now how to remove the old graphite bearing and install a new one.
