Comments by Skipper on the new live clutch available as a replacement stirred a memory. The old style OEM clutch with the aluminium housing was only designed for a maximum of 50 hp and was not a robust unit. I have some friends in Holland who put 100 hp through it and even 4WD but I felt they were pushing their luck.
The new design is very strong and is an excellent unit but a little pricey IMHO but if you need one that is certainly the way to go.
I had to go to a Super Major that came to a dead stop whilst ploughing. When I split her the largest piece of the clutch left was the six clutch levers. Driver claimed he never heard a thing. The one in the pictures was sawing wood, driving the bench from the belt pulley. Luckily no one was hurt when she let go.
