Slip clutch

I have a problem with the slip clutch in the PTO line on a Brent 610 grain cart. It has what looks like a dishpan that all the guts go into. Problem is it slips so I can't open the slide for more grain than leaks in to run or it slips. I believe it has the tighten to not grab and loosen to make clutch tighter. I believe it needs new friction discs. Only problem is how does it come apart? IF you take the nuts off the 4 bolts it will not come apart and the dishpan holding all the guts does not come off the universal joint. It has to be off the shaft which I will need to heat to get off. I need this working for corn and don't want to pull it apart till I have parts in hand. It is definitely not the slip clutch that came on the cart originally. the original was a Bondoli so some such thing and that does not have a dishpan looking a fair on it for the clutch. My brother got new discs for it a year ago and they were about 2 inches bigger than the clutch on there now. Can't get to the clutch good since some idiot welded the shield over the clutch instead of it being pinned on. Kind of looks like a waltershied or some such thing. Never thought to much of slip clutches nor shear pins.
 
had a brent 620 that slip clutch was junk, slippped all time. replaced with american made slip clutch used on brush mower. still on there working when I updated to newer and bigger several years ago.
 
Your grain cart slip clutch sounds as if it resembles the SC on my Krone disc cutter which has as you stated a Walterschied PTO Slip Clutch. One needs to tighten the nuts to compress the spring washers then bend the 4 depressed areas that contain clutch components together. Then remove assembly from outer hub. Loosen/remove all nuts to replace linings contained between the plates.

My cutters slip clutch didn't contain the retaining ring shown in video below.

Jim I saw that video and it is a thicker clutch than ours and it does not have the snap ring to hold it together by the looks of it either. And so I get it apart then where do I get the linings to fix it?
 

Your SC sounds similar to my Krone SC that has no retainer ring. When you get it apart just measure the linings outside & inside diameter. I think you can locate linings on the internet.
 
you need to tighten the 4 nuts down then pry the ears out the have the slots i not all the impressed with it one i worked on end up adding a plate to it be tight enough hasn't slipped sense then now it just may be to tight
