175 Multipwer and PTO

21hunter · Jun 3, 2013

I was giving my 175 Diesel that I just bought a workout yesterday pulling a 13" flail mower. It has the two sage clutch and I noticed that occasionally the PTO clutch was slipping some even though the engine wasn"t laboring that hard. Are there any upgrades for the clutch on this (larger dia. or better material) if I tear into it?
Also; the manual says to not run in the low Multipower position too long without shifting into hi occasionally. How long is too long? 5 minutes? 30 minutes? Any ideas?

there are different pressure ranges used with the same housings and disc, ie 900#,1200#,1600# i've seen them get mixed up more than once especially with re builders,the light weight out of a 135 will work in a 175 but won't hold up,the difference is the size springs used on the main clutch and the thickness of the belleville spring used on the pto clutch,if yours slips without pulling the engine hard enough to nearly stall it something is wrong with the pto clutch,as for the mp never run a 175 with one but run 275 with one that had to be run in low to pull the disc never worried about shifting to high nor did it give any trouble not saying we were right in doing so
