Clutch was made by Spicer. Also used in other brands of small tractors such as a Massey 135 ??? or something along that line.
A Massey expert would know which of those under 50HP Masseys had two stage clutches in the 1950's & 1960's. A cheap source of parts for a Deere.
The clutches set right up easy after doing a couple.When using the proper feeler gauges listed in the manual and service bulletions.
Going by guess and by golly with just a ruler is looking for trouble.
All three fingers have to be within a couple of thou. The set screws between the two pressure plates that activate the pto clutch have to equal as well.
Being equal height on everything is even more important then travel distances.
The clutch "springs" don't look like a spring either. Kind of an curved hoop in shape.
Don't forget to grease it a little with a premium quality grease on occassion.
