Great video as usual you might mention that some clutches run clockwise and some run counterclockwise
@@spiffy830 .What difference does it make, Taryl is talking about adjusting clutches not direction. CW or CCW , what difference does it make?
You offer a college level power mechanics class wrapped in a bit of humor. You’re a National Treasure for us folks that work on our own stuff but won’t live long enough to figure it out on my own. Well Done Sir.
Taryl, at 71 years of age and being non-mechanically minded, I absolutely enjoy your videos. You are an excellent teacher and very thorough in your explanations. Thank you for your humor and the quality videos you produce! I would be one of those "boneheads" that would come in. The ones that don't have a clue😁. May you continue to be abundantly blessed. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
He makes me wanna do small engine repairs. I like this kind of work.
DAD?? Is that you??????
@@USMC-Sniper-0137 😅🤣😂As far as I know, no. I am a Submarine Sailor so I suppose it could be....a Sub-Marine😁. Hope all is well with you. Take care.
@@robinredman5192 I'm 62 and kiddin' Hope life is great for you always as well sir! OHHHHHRAHHH!
@@USMC-Sniper-0137 This is John actually, as Robin is the wifey. Knew you were kidding. I wouldn't want to upset you Sniper-0137. It would not end well for me. brouhaha ha. 😁
When my lawn mower was just out of warranty, I put in a new "Extreme" clutch on Taryl's advice. They are built better, thicker, stronger, and pulleys made out of billet aluminum. I haven't had a problem since. Thanks Taryl..! 😎
Best to keep clutch engaged as much as possible and engage at half speed. The clutch will last much longer as will the bearings as they are not turning when clutch engaged. Avoid on & off as much as possible.
Great information Taryl
You left out the best part, how to fix torn off wires from the clutch... I learned how to fix that in one of your older videos! Great stuff taryl!
Thank you for sharing. I get educated every time I watch your videos. Thanks for not keeping it to yourself.👍
Another GREAT video Taryl!
Good explanation of how they work.
Thank you for this helpful video Taryl
Fantastic information! Thank You!
Another informative video, keep them coming many of us appreciate the easy to understand way you pass along your knowledge. Cheers.
Taryl thanks for the talk through!
Thanks for the video Taryl.
IF you take the clutch off the crank shaft you have make sure you put the spacer back on the right way . Great video .
Great explanation! You're a great teacher!
You da Grass Man!
That's useful info. Thanks again Taryl. 👍
Thank you for another excellent lesson. Respect from here in UK.
Great video on explaining the pto clutch, Thanks.
Great video. Thank you.
Very informative video sir. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
great bit of information.
Maybe do part 2 to discuss the different symptoms when 1 or both bearings sieze. They can be replaced although the SAE ID Metric OD bearings are hard to find.
Great video
Thankyou!!!
Thanks, great video
Great timing Taryl, I just picked up a Zturn with a dead PTO. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet and hoped it's just a bad wire, but if it's not it's probably getting a little worn and won't grab because of the gap. I had an AC clutch doing that in a Jeep I had and I removed a thin spacer washer from that clutch (AC clutch works the same way) and it's still working many years later.
Thanks for the video. I repair ones when possible. When I refurbish one I pop the grease seal on the bearing and add grease or clean out the old grease and add new grease, depending on the old grease. A good overall disassembly, cleaning and greasing has saved many for me.
Good information Taryl. I learned something new about that. I appreciate ya'.
This video is awesome.
Thank you you did explain
Thank you for this Daryl, that was a good insight on.I've never got to mess with the electric clutch yet
about the same as a cars a/c unit
Very interesting video!
Thumbs up,great video
Hey Taryl,
I have been watching your channel since last winter. I have to tell you that although you don’t brag about it but you are a master small engine mechanic. I have acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge from watching you. Plus you are very entertaining with all the fun you guys have in your shop.
Thanks for keeping each episode interesting.
Thanks Taryl.
I have repaired many of the "unrepairable" ones, many of them have shims in the stack up and they can be changed and removed to effect the engagement and braking of the clutch, that being said once the bearings are shot it's time to buy a new one most of them are staked in. The better clutches that Toro professional and golf equipment have replaceable bearings and I have fixed those also
I’ve replaced staked in bearings many times. It’s really not that hard to do. Way cheaper than a new clutch.
@@notajp yeah not impossible but you fight the time vs cost of new parts .
Is it possible for the clutch to slip? I have a Toro Grandstand the blades dont seem to be spinning fast enough and in thick grass you can tell they slow right down. Could it be slipping? It engages/disengages fine with the switch.
Excellent info Taryl. I build 2stk Gas Bikes. Too bad we couldn't find a Featherable electric clutch. Yup... Different animal. Although...Like Gas bikes this type clutch is engaged or disengaged. no feather. P.T.O... Loved this Vid and info. Thanks!
Thanks for the education on the electric clutches. Learned a lot I did not know.
Thanks!
Hi Daryl, I changed the clutch on my husqvarna about a year ago and I forgot to anchor the clutch plate and it tore out the wires and I ordered another one. I wish I would have seen your video earlier. I am going to look for your video on how to fix the wires, if they get tore out.Great video
Thank you for your knowledge and expertise i just bought a zero turn with an electric pto clutch and was curious about how it worked .
Lots of good info here 🙌
Best channel ever !
Im pretty much out of the game now , but did outdoor power equipment and yard work off and on quite a few years. I was happy with them and have had good luck with the X-Treme brand of clutches. Built strong and last long. Thanks for doing your vids my man , always interesting.
Yep, highly recommend the Xtreme clutches. And your can usually buy them cheaper than the OEM replacement.
Great video.
Very informative
We keep the air gaps checked in ours and make sure there’s no oil leaks that’ll ruin em.
Good information…👍👍
Awesome.
What a timely video.
mine is adjustable, thanks!
Great video 👍
Very interesting on how you explain clutches electric ones good video Keep Em Up
This was a good tip I Learn something today something new which I never knew before no I know❤
Low battery will cause the PTO to kick out also !
Cool...thanks.
I like these tech Thursdays videos taryl…. I’d like to see one on spindle bearings next 👍👍👍
I've never been rich enough to own a mower with a PTO clutch
Great video thanks for sharing
Same device as automotive AC compressor clutches Thanks for the video.
Thank you Taryl. Bob
The electric clutch on my ariens zero turn started engaging violently when the friction material was worn. Snapping belts frequently. Shock load snapped them.
Thanks Taryl! And heads up to all of the Grass Rats-be sure you have a healthy battery on your electric clutch mowers-don't jump a mower with a bad battery-you may burn up the charging system, and burn up the clutch by sending too much current to a bad battery, and not enough to the clutch-and there's your dinner! Oops can I say that?
Like old AC pulley mag clutches. Hang for ur vids man, always informative and often a good laugh. Hi from Australia.
Your shirts are always very clean, first time I ever saw anything on it, luckily it brushed right off.
Nice 💯💯💯
Thanks for making this easily understandable and its good to know that they are not just full of mysterious non-understandable magic pixies
need to check my drive clutch,not easy stuff Taryl fix all 😉
My clutch is rusted onto the crankshaft. I got the transmission belt replaced without removing the clutch. Some day I will need to remove it, I’ll figure it out then. Great video.
I have rewound one of those.
Thanks, now I know what to look for and how it works, just like an a/c compressor clutch.
My friend at Werner Clutch said burnishing is very important that is turning the clutch on and off 10 times at full throttle 😊
Of course that’s what the clutch salesman says. Lol
@@fastinradfordable worked for me zero problems now
Worked for me
That's the same with Ford ac compressors up to the 2006 I know.
Those they have shims added when manufacturers, and after they get some wear on them they'll release the clutch same as you're speaking of.
Ford calls it setting the air gap between the magnetic coil, and the clutch face..
But same thing just different use if magnetic clutch lockup.
I would just as soon have a manual PTO
My son was cleaning and adjusting PTO clutches on bowling pin machines last week
Do they look like this
Up to now I thought magic pixies controlled these. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Taryl. 👍
YES
I took the magnet off and welded it full on. Now I have to start it with the blades turning with the engine being very careful when getting on and off the mower when it's running.
Wow! Perfect timing Taryl! I'm repowering my zero-turn and I plan to check the adjustment when I install the old PTO clutch onto the new engine.
Quick question... does it matter if the belt is installed and under tension or should I adjust the PTO clutch gap without the belt on?
Thanks Taryl. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos and how you share your knowledge and experience in a fun and understandable way.
God Bless you brother.
Yes, and those Clutches are nearly identical to the Air Conditioner Compressor Clutch on your Automobiles. Works & looks exactly the same way.
I bought Cub Cadet Super Garden tractor in the early 90's. It had an electric PTO clutch. A huge problem with them in that tractor, but they offered a fix/newer one. At least they were honest about it.
Thanks a million man, great information as my dad has wasted hundreds of dollars replacing these POS things.
Had a fixed one that wouldn't start after deep grass cutting and I was able to clean it out with compressed air and that was all it needed.
The aftermarket has made replacement of the non reparable ones quite affordable, I have not seen a lot of problems with the aftermarket ones either
You should have mentioned These clutches are also brakes. They not only energize the mower blades, they also bring them to a stop. I've found it easier to adjust Ogura and old-style Warners found on garden tractors by setting the drag in the brake side evenly. I've also found over the years the gap really isn't all that important as some say. If the electro-magnet is in good condition and there is little wear on the shaft hub, it will pull that disc in with an eighth inch gap or more. In fact, the book states to test the magnet, energize it and place a wrench next to it. A good clutch will stick that wrench right to that coil. Keep your fingers from between it. More often than not, I replace those old-style Warners and Ogura's with later style non-adjustable types. They are much better, much cheaper and don't require a feeler gauge to keep them operating.
You need to run mower engine at top speed in order to keep the charging of battery correct. I have seen some run mower at slower RPMs and burn up the clutch. Battery started getting low on charge. Kinda important to know
Taryl, do you have any 80's-90's Snapper blade brake clutches for the 21" walk behind laying around. Hard to find.
Are rebuild kits available for the adjustable clutches?
Mr. Wizard, Television’s Original Science Guy Created by Don Herbert. Taryl the 2nd Wizard. 😎 Thanks.
Taryl , the mag stop clutch in the last 10 years can be adjusted by installing a repair brake shoe kit which closes the gap so less amps are needed to keep the clutch engaged that usually takes care of that style.
I have the adjustable p.t.o on my craftsman gt tractor I had to adjust it to get it to work again
What's the proper way to engage A PTo at high r p m or at lower r p m
High rpm. The magnet has to work harder and speed up if you engage at low rpm. Aleays engage the blades at high rpm
I have wondered that myself thinking the way of slipping the clutch on a manual transmission
@@codyswilley that is the opposite of what my 2011 x1 manual says. It states mid rmp range to reduce wear. But some people say high rpm. That's why I want Teryls opinion.
@@codyswilley Dumbest logic I've heard in a good while.
@@Look_What_I_Did it's the correct way actually. Shows what you know
Hello. Can the adjustable clutches be rebuilt or do you need to replace the entire clutch.
Do a retrofit video to convert electric PTO to manual PTO clutch.
I thought you might mention the best engine rpm to engage the clutch. Or if it would matter. I do about half throttle.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO TARLY!
KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING TO PITTSBURGH PA.
NOW THERE'S MY DINNER.
BEACHBUM08 OUT😊
Is it best to turn on the PTO at lower rmps, or is full throttle best?
Taryl, please talk about drive and driven parts, and the differences.
Will you explain to them and I how you got those clutches off the lawnmower I usually have to cut
I'm just curious...on riding mowers, manual blades engaging or PTO... What's better? If one is better then the other...
Which one can you retro fit on a wheel horse charger 8?
