The 1600 had problems a few weeks ago. It wouldn't stop when I pushed the clutch pedal down,so I took the loader off and put it on the 1550 for the time being. I got time to pull the engine yesterday. The fingers were all worn right off the pressure plate. When I took it off,the facing fell off the back side of the clutch in two pieces.
I went and looked on the pallets in the corner of the toolshed. There was a like new pressure plate and a good clutch. The splines on the flywheel end of the PTO long shaft were about 90% gone too. The one out of that parts tractor was good,so I got the whole thing back together without spending a dime.
The $600 I paid for that parts tractor two and a half years ago is still paying interest.
