Anybody know about 'em? Just replaced one on a JD316, and it still don't work. Don't feel bad about replacing the old one, it was the original, and the bearings were pretty bad in it.

Got voltage to the control wire, but the clutch won't kick in. I'm thinking I need to adjust the gap between the drive and driven sections, does that seem reasonable? The clutch comes completely disassembled in a box, and you put a spring loaded collar over the driven part with Nylock nuts, I suspect you need to stick a feeler guage in and tweek it down so it's a specific gap, and even all the way around.

If anybody knows whether I'm on the right track, and what the specific gap should be, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Hi F14,
I just posted on the Garden Tractor board about my 2160 Cub Cadet electric pto clutch. It went out at the first of this season and I adjusted the air gap to specs (.012). It started working and did o.k. until last week. Now it's gone again and I'm debating what to do. Where is a good source for parts or new clutch? I don't have a lot of time as the grass is growing so I may just have to buy a new clutch. The prices I see are about $250.00 or so. I can get a lot of goats for that. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same model tractor that I beleive does have clutch problem. You state that you have a manual that shows an adjustment. Is it possible to get a copy of this drawing?
Thanks

You can rebuild those electric clutches..... Clean out all the old epoxy, and copper wire. Then get the same size wire (copper) and use a sufficient length to have enough resistance to drop the voltage to "zero".... Coil it into the magnet area, and pour it full with 30 minute epoxy... I tie the windings with thread, into a bundle to keep them manageable....

I haven't tossed the old one. This was a job for another feller that was more interested in fast than cheap. I might fuss with that this winter, never can tell when an electric clutch might come in handy...

Problem was, I wasn't applying sufficient brute force and ignorance, which hardly ever happens to me!

The adjuster ring is also the brake, and I was trying to get the gap set without binding up the pulley, and that ain't the way this one works. As soon as I understood that, and tighted the adjuster down to the proper gap, it worked like a champ.

yes you are on the right tract . get the spects for what you are working on . depending on what you are working on you may have to add or remove shims or do other things to get the right air gap for the clutch . very critical . you also may have a low pressure cut out switch in the system to prevent clutch engement if the refregerent in too low . the purpose of this switch is to prevent clutch engament when the evaporator ( cooling coils) is below freezing which will cause moisture in the air flow to freeze in the cooling coils and stop air flow . hopefully this will help you .if so may be you can help a computer illiterate with a few questions....bill...

Bill, I think you're talking about the electric clutch on an air conditioner compressor. I believe F14's asking about an electric clutch for the PTO. F14, you're on the right track, There should be three adjustment points on the electric clutch to tighten or loosen.
Hope this helps

Do a search on elect. clutches on the Garden Tractors site. On a JD 111 I found out the correct gap (.020 I think) and it has worked fine ever since.
