How do I know how much to tighten the nut that applies pressure to the two clutch disc? I know if its to loose the clutches will slip. Can I over tighten it? Thanks, Glen

What exactly are you calling a "shredder"? It sounds like you might be referring to a rotary mower, commonly called a bush hog, which is also a brand of rotary cutters.

Glen,
I just went through this on my shredder.
Took me about 3 trys to get it right.
What brand of shredder do you have? Most of the manufacturers - if they're still in business - have web sites and have free downloadable owners manuals.
The one I downloaded from Bush Hog says the following:
"Adjust only to provide sufficient torque to prevent slippage under normal conditions. Occasional slippage is normal for drive train protection."

Most manuals have a measurement on the spring system. You tighten it down to "XX" inches what ever that is on yours. Mine does. Yes, you can overtighten it and then if you hit an immovable object, you will break something. Some of these things will stick up over time and you need to loosen them up occasionally and make sure they are freed up and then tighten them back to spec.
