I had a major oil leak and my clutch got "oiled". It worked for a few weeks but eventually stoppped wanting to go. I split the tractor and found the clutch seems to be in good shape so I am wondering if anyone knows how to get the oil out. I have heard of using brake fluid, heating it, etc.. Just looking for someone who has tried it.
Thanks, Alex

Alex.

I've done this one, but don't let the wife know.
Soak pressure plate and clutch disc in brake cleaner over night. Take out and dry. Wait until the wife goes out. Put in dishwasher with regular washer wash crystals and go to it. (regular wash) Get it out before the wife comes home. You will not beleive the job.

Install and good luck.

You can buy an aftermarket plate for so little why spend time on a part worn unit?

I have used Trikoethylene 111 for removing oil from brake shoes etc before, it's very hard to get hold of now as it causes cancer, so I don't use it any more. You can use spray brake cleaners but I don't think that they're that effective when the friction material is soaked.

I suggest a thorough soak and then a fresh rinse with Varsol I think mineral spirits if you can't find Varsol.I have used this cure method many times on very heavy duty industrial clutches and brakes and had excellent results .Never had a failure.In each case these clutches were cleaned in place with a spray gun due to down time and labor problems. Try it,you will like it.Since you have it apart just dry it in the sun or any warm place for a few hours.

Thanks for the advice....would laquer thinner or even Naptha be better than varsol as they have less oil content??

I do not have any experience with laquer thinner but Naptha should be even better than varsol.It is more expensive and fumes are not good for you but it will dry more quickly.I have in the past, used both naptha and benzene but both are more hazardous.Benzene is probably almost impossible to abtain now.Ol Chief
