A fellow told me DC foot clutches were not as strong as hand clutch? If I remember right, he said something about their "over center" design. True...False....?

Hey Men; I've owned a Foot Clutch DC for 25 years and have never touched the clutch. From my experience it is as sturdy as the hand clutch. When I 1st got it, it did plowing & tillage. A '52 Hand Clutch DC can be converted to foot clutch by changing the flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, brg, and input shaft seal carrier. The input shaft is the same on both Live PTO DC's. I just converted a '52 to foot clutch.

I have a few DC's. Two have the foot clutch, and 5 have various designs of the hand clutch. Foot clutch is nice for convience when you need your left hand for other things, and duty is not to severe. If you will use it hard the old hand clutch is twice as durable if it is adjusted properly. I have a reversed DC with a loader on it. Low gear had to be removed to turn the ring gear and pinion over. There is no way in h#%@@ that the foot clutch would stand up to the abuse that I give that thing. If you do end up with a foot clutch plan on spending some $ to keep it working. Both of my pressure plates have been broken in half and welded back together. Springs will most likely need to be replaced, and clutch disk will last 25% as long as the hand clutch.

Yeah, I heard that too, but I don't think it is true. From what I've heard recently they can be converted with the external cosmetics only, so that means they are the same. Is that true?? Maybe DC Tom can tell us?

No Ted, switching over is not just cosmetic. Everything is different including clutch, pressure plate, transmission input shaft, external linkage, etc. Glenn F.

The foot clutch was not as durable as the hand clutch and parts for the foot clutch border on extinct.
