Am finally getting around to overhauling both steering clutches - one worked and other was stuck with rust. Decided to do both as I am this far into the job.
First clutch (seized one) had only 8 fibre and seven steel plates - the JD book shows 9 fibre and 8 steel. I assume one plate of each was omitted to allow for longer work before re-re to do clutch work. Am in damp BC and the machine was previously used in logging I was told. I figure with more clearance between discs, the less chance of rust seizure. The clutch that came apart was badly rusted up - fibre plates don't look too bad except for surface rust.
What do you experienced chaps do with a clutch rebuild - use book number of discs or one of each less. Also, can the old discs be refurbished/cleaned up enough to re-use?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am finding all sorts of things needing fixing :-(
