Looks to me like it belongs on there! Since it has a built in relief, it is not going to be over powered, unless you change the relief settings! I think you are good to go, wouldn't worry about a thing! Enjoy! JMHO

Thanks Boomer, I appreciate the brochure. The guy I bought it off of had it on a
646 for quite a while. I would like to know why it's not recommended. I made the
assumption that it would be fine on my 648. I'm sure there is a reason, they
just wouldn't leave it off the ok list from a sales standpoint for no reason.
I'm hoping it's just mounting. I'd love to hear all opinions on it though before
I break something. There's not many of these in my area (southern NH) so I was
happy to find this to add to my growing collection.

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems as though you two guys are on different pages with
this clutch. One of you is talking about the "hub" and the other is referring to
the "clutch shaft".

To me, the "hub" is one of the pieces that the clutch disc is sandwiched between
while the "clutch shaft" is the item bolted to the engine flywheel that the
entire clutch is mounted on.

You CAN lightly sand the clutch shaft to try and remove sharp edges but if the
wear is heavy, then you must either repair or replace that shaft.  WHY? One of
the reasons is that there are three ball bearing races that reside on that shaft
and the shaft is sized to gently grip the inner race of those bearings so that
the bearing itself spins WITH the shaft. If there is too much clearance, then
the bearing won't spin in harmony with the shaft. Instead, the shaft will spin
inside the bore of the bearing's inner race, causing the shaft to wear even more
and create fresh sharp edges.

If you owned a vehicle with a standard shift transmission, it would have a
clutch assembly consisting of a pressure plate, clutch disc, flywheel, pilot
bearing, throwout bearing and throwout fork. When the clutch can no longer be
adjusted, it must be replaced and no self-respecting mechanic would just toss a
fresh clutch disc in and tell the customer to be on their way. Good mechanics
understand that every part of a clutch assembly has substantial wear and tear on
it and therefore, should be replaced in order to get a properly working clutch
that will last for a long time.

Clutches are a wear part that begins to deteriorate the second the machine is
put into use.  Owners have a tendency to neglect the clutch. As long as the deck
spins, they think everything must be OK and so they neglect to do routine clutch
adjustments. As the clutch wears more and more, slippage begins to take place
every time the deck encounters heavy grass. Owners don't even realize that this
is happening until the deck stalls the second they start to mow grass.

All of that slippage causes heat and that heat causes damage to the clutch
parts. Springy parts lose their tempering and can no longer function as they
once did. While Belleville washers might look OK to the eye, the average owner
has no way of knowing whether they still deliver the pressure needed to make the
clutch work properly. Those washers are what you are compressing when you engage
the clutch. They are the equivilent to the springs in a car's pressure plate and
are there to keep the disc from slipping and to keep the clutch engaged.

When rebuilding the PTO clutch on your tractor, every part is suspect and every
part is replacable. The foot bone is connected to the ankle bone and the ankle
bone is connected to the leg bone and the leg bone is connected to the knee
bone........... and so the song goes. If the leg is expected to work 100
percent, then all the bones must be 100 percent or you will walk with a limp or
not walk at all.

I will check the points to make sure they are not grounded and the wire going to them.

Then either your points are shorting out or the wire from the coil is grounding. Closely check that it is not pinched between the cover and the plate, where it makes a sharp bend, sometimes it will become bare and ground the points out.

When I mount it I have about .volts, which leads me to believe that the gasket is critical in keeping the system from grounding out. However, I still question why the points would not show 12.3 volts because they should be separate from the mounting bracket because they have the ceramic or plastic housing to keep from grounding out.

I will take my breaker assembly back apart to evaluate the if the gasket is missing. The strange thing is that I don't think I took the points assembly apart before experiencing this issue. However, I have done so many things to try to figure out this issue that I may have had a bad condenser or something small and lost the gasket when I removed the assembly.

Hello and welcome to the Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractor Group. There are a
few things we would like to bring to your attention.

#1. We often get asked about what type of oil to use in the hydraulic system of
these tractors. Your Tractor uses Motor oil in the Hydraulic system NOT
Hydraulic Fluid, Use a good grade of Multi-weight Motor Oil. The recommended
weights are 20W-40, 20W-50, 15W-40,(the 20W-40 is hard to find) or in warm
weather 30W motor oil is safe to use.

2. We have an extensive files area with a ton of information to help you
maintain your tractor. Please go there and look it over for yourself and become
familiar with its use. You can find what year your Tractor is to just about
anything you will need to maintain it.  The files section can be found here:
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/casegardentractors/files/>

3. We also have an extensive archive of the mailing list, any problem you could
possibly have with your tractor has likely been covered before, so please try a
search of the messages before you ask on list, We are very willing to help you
but do get tired of answering the very same questions over and over every few
days. The message archives can be found here:
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/casegardentractors/messages>

Thank You

Terrance

Interesting. Must not be the case for ALL Lowes though... Ours doesn't
have a stitch of any type of "equipment enamel". I asked and all they
had was a few generic colors of rustoleum.

ed,

It looks like the hub could be "machined" down enough to get rid of the
majority of grooves with cloth it would take to much time and would be
to hard "for me to get a true flat surface". but if I did would I have
to add that back in spacers or would I have to subtract that thickness
of spacers to make the adjustment correct, and within tolerance.

And would taking off that much metal make the hub distort under load, or
overheat and warp during use.

myself I am not qualified to do a turn down "I am a lathe klutz".

I simply purchased a complete ez-hub assembly from a member here. after
I get the rest of the parts that are still in route / shipping and get
the 446 up and running. I will puzzle out how to repair it for a backup
assembly, or which parts are salvageable for stock.

As for the screw locations, you have 2 holding the hub to the flywheel,
then "in my case" I had 2 under the hub holding the grass screen and the
outer screen retainer screws (3). All had been wormed out so no allen
wrench "metric or english would hold. I had to drive a torx t-30 into
the first one--remove it "heat the screw with a propane torch and then
using the hammer impact drive it out". The 2'nd screw was wormed out
beyond a t-30 but smaller than a torx t-40 so I measured the points of a
t-40 and the inside grooves "averaged the 2 measurements got a hardened
drill bit "and said a prayer" drilled it to depth. hammered a t-40 in
until it bottomed out. removed it. heated it with the propane torch and
hammered it out. Basically the same with all the grass screen screws.

On the bright side you don't have to remove the grass screen "unless
your a klutz like me and drop a bolt down the blower assembly breather
tube. But for me it was lucky "I found that the whole assembly was held
only by the top bolt" and that was allowing the screen guard to hit the
housing and the flywheel.

And for the gentlemen that helped me with suggestions, you will notice I
had to use every-ones advice.  Kudos to all of you. This is what makes
the list so great.

And a special thanks to Brian for spending so much time emailing back
and forth to make sure I was getting the right parts, and the right
quantities, and that I was using the right part numbers.

Again thanks guys.

Waylon

Aside from the obvious differances such as relief valve setting, single/dual action, and unit mounted control valve. The only differance I suspect is the J-31 is not designed to mount on the 600 series. However my observation cannot hold water because he said his J-31 was on the 600 series and works well.

Usually if the grooves are deep the clutch hub shaft needs to be repaired by
sleeving it or metalizing it. Sleeving seems to be the preferred method and
requires some lathe work.

Waylon,

I have three Ez and one shim clutches laying around in my work shed.  I'm assuming you are talking grooves in the hub plate. I tried to take the grooves out of the hub plate only to discover that the thickest of the plate matters.  If you take too much off, you can't get the unit adjusted properly. The big nut pushes everything back, but when the plate wears thin something has to be added in back of the plate to compensate for the wear, or to push it forward.  I ended up buying another clutch and had this hub/shaft turned down to use for electric clutch project.

John
