Hi all,
I have been trying to source new clutch springs. New Holland sent me cleaned up old ones, some even had bad slpitting on them. I did not purchase them but did find brand new ones from a clutch company that are exact dimensions but with 17% more pressure than originals. The clutch company said I could use 6 old and 6 new, evenly spaced but I would rather put all new in.
DO any of you think I would be pushing the limits if I did this? Seems the retainer pins would be taking most of the extra pressure but there may be other factors I am missing.
Also, I was thinking of applying bondo (and sanding smooth) to the polished metal axel surface that comes in contact with the outboard oil seal. I thought filling up the pitted metal would mean much better oil containment. Not sure hot hot the axel gets which could pop the bondo off. Maybe not a great idea but welding and turning is out of my budget. Thanbks KB
