I changed the clutch to a heavy duty centrifugal v-belt clutch with a ribbed belt. Works great.

Yeah..I was gonna start prying on that outer cover and then thought, " you know ..that just might screw on there... " Caught your video and sure enough...it screws. Thanks for your visual How-To. Keep 'em coming

good info Dan...

anyone have an outer clutch plate like the one shown in the video.

Are you doing any new clutch dics, or other related components

Hi sir..I have a dB that takes off when I start it up..would the spray and tap method be the best start?

What or how much does the clutch disk cost? That would be great for go-carts or minibikes as well. I realize they were made like 60 plus years ago "but" does anyone make the whole clutch , pulley , and all today? Besides the 2 mentioned carts I can think of all sorts of uses for this kinda clutch in machinery building.

Are there anywhere instructions on how to make adjustment on a slipping clutch or do you just have to replace the discs? Also where is it possible to get new clutch discs?

Witch way does the outer red part unscrew? I am having a bear of a time getting it off. Had to drill out the weird bolt someone hammered in there. Any help would be cool!

First off, you Must make sure there are no set screws holding it in place. Some had 1, some had 2, some just had a Pit or bolt through it. It unsrews counterclockwise, Jam a Crowbar or other tool behind it keep the Shaft from moving if necesary Soak it it WD40, Tap it hard with a RUBBER mallet to Shock the threads loose and then use a Pipe Wrench on the outer part with a cheater bar on the handle. they are always Very hard to get off. Good Luck.

i assumed mine was like this, the only place i found clutches showed me and advised me to replace the reverse clutch the kind that is riveted on ? i guess ill just have to take it apart and see whats there , then ill know what to order

does anybody know where to get the little throw out thrust bearing ? i got oe 45 yrs ago from sears but i think that won,t be the case any more

How do I determine year of dB?

hi I am looking for parts like the iner and outer clutch Facing do you know were I can get it????

airplane247 I've bought two off of eBay.

Great video I don't have the one that u are doing mine is 917.5752 / 322. What i need is how and where can i get the facings. My pulley looks the same it's got the 6 nubs but when i took off the outer plate the facing was round inside and out with no slots for the nubs. And TY for the video.

Thanks, Contact me through my email, danscaretaker@hotmail.com and I'll hook you up with what you need. to Fix Your Clutch

Thanks for your advice...I learned a lot!

Dan, great video. Are clutch facings available? Can a guy fabricate his own? I read once about someone using flooring tile, he used the old one as a template and cut new ones, think that would work? Is a good source for parts on the net? Thanks!

Where do you another clutch plate

Dan, I have an option to buy two DB's (do not have model#'s yet). One has the sickle mower but is missing the pulley on the sickle. How hard is it to find sickle pullies? To be honest, I was just looking for any walk behind sickle mower but after watching your videos, I am sold on DB's :) Thanks Dick

It's good to help with a video, but remember, there are at least 3 styles of clutches. The first style doesn't have the tits on the pulley for the clutch disk, is spring loaded instead of ball lock, and does not have the threaded adjustment (doesn't need it) As to the 2 set screws, NO, never put 2 in as ONE will always go in on a threaded area!! The set screws are 90 degrees apart, the flats are 60 degrees apart- no way to use 2 without damaging some threads. The reason for 2 places for the set screw is to allow for finer adjustment which is required for the ball lock style clutch. Then there is the "reverse ready" pulley, but would be about the same as your video, except a pipe wrench probably won't fit the pulley, and finally the latest ball lock which uses only one disk and it is rivited to the large pulley. The man who has sold new disks lives in Houston, but I can't think of his name. Sam something maybe. Haven't seen his ad for some time.

I'm getting a dead link

@ddssdickday Thanks, I have Heard of guys attempting to fabricate their own, they may work in a pinch but they Do NOT hold up, especially in Cold Weather. Check out the links on the Yahoo DB sites, there is a guy in texas that makes Clutch Facings. Cost about $45 to $50

@ddssdickday Thanks, Contact me through my email, danscaretaker@hotmail.com and I'll hook you up with what you need.
