Got a pull type 307, side wheels. Very well used! I bought it ~15 years ago for 350.00 and used it a few time to mow my ~20 acres that doesn't get hayed. I haven't used it in 4 or 5 years as it was getting to a point where if I got in to some thick stuff it'd start slipping and I was pretty much done being able to use it for awhile.
From what I've research, there's a large but on the gear box side of the clutch pack that sets the tension on the clutches/springs. There's a cotter pin that runs through it.
The front housing of clutch pack has fingers that engage the finger's of the metal disk plates. I can rotate front house back and forth about an 1/8", mostly due to the engaging side of housing fingers having slight groves worn in them from the clutch plates.
I'm not sure what attached the clutch pack to the gearbox input shaft, but I know there's a little slop between input shaft and clutch pack, i.e. I can rock the clutch pack with that big tension nut, back n forth, and see a little movement between clutch pack and input shaft.
Do I disassemble the clutch pack and see what's what, or just try to tight that tension nut(and if so, how is this best done to keep shaft from rotating while trying to tighten the nut.
