Has anyone ever had one of these apart? I recently purchased a very clean one owner shed kept 327 small square baler that I checked over, turned over by hand to check timing, cycled the knotters, etc etc. My problem is in the slip clutch. When I roll over the baler by hand the PTO shaft turns but when I hook it up to the tractor the input into the PTO clutch just turns and doesn't transfer power thru. I tried tightening up the springs to to avail and the plates look good from the outside. Im planning on taking it apart tonight after work. When I looked at the parts diagram I see there's two dogs in there that I assume engage with centrifical force like a recoil on a small engine? I'm thinking that they could be rusty from sitting and not engaging. I did have to remove the needle brake pads and clean up the disk from surface rust so I'm thing I might be dealing with the same thing here. Can anyone tell me if Im heading in the right direction or tell me any dos and don't when taking apart reassembling the clutch? I do have a service manual for it but those have lead me astray before. Thanks in advance!!
