Ok, I got a little farther on my basketcase 3400 this weekend. I removed the old engine to replace it with a new (used) engine. I will need to swap the clutch onto the new engine. When I looked in the bell housing, I noticed a few broken plates, a bolt and some sort of cap or plug? After looking at the clutch, I realized the bolt had come loose from the clutch cover and the spacer plate probably swung out and hit something, causing the plate to break. It looks like another one was working its way out as well. I cannot figure out what the cap or plug is, any idea?
Now another question. I was thinking while the clutch is accessible, I should service it. I've never rebuilt or tore into a clutch assembly before, so I don't know what parts should be checked/replaced. I would guess the clutch disc and maybe pressure plate? Is that correct and is there anything else? Just by comparing my clutch to the parts book, it appears I have a 3400 single clutch, which is different from the 3000 single clutch. My parts book shows there is a 12" and 13" disc and plate for the 3400 single clutch. I assume I need to measure the diameter of the disc, and to the best of my abilities without disassembling it, it appears to be a 12". Looking at Yesterdays Tractors parts website for the 3000 series, it shows an 11" and 13" clutch. I'm guessing they don't have the clutch parts for a 3400.
I guess long story short, can you tell what shape the clutch is in with the pictures? If it looks like it needs it, or if you generally recommend rebuilding it, what parts do I need to check/replace? Thanks for any help
