I have a model 127 JD brush hog. The slip clutch is froze up. Any suggestions on how to get free without breaking something?

Is it possible to take the pre-load off the bolts that hold tension on the clutch.?? If so, you may get it to break free by starting the mower with the pressure off the clutch plates..( or even use it a little.!! ). Other times, you may even have to resort to working a thin blade in between the plate, and the disc, to seperate it... Once loose, I'd lightly put a SMALL amount of pressure on the clutch springs, and LET it SLIP for long enough to polish the discs up, before setting it up tight enough to hold full power...

It is real important to have the PTO clutch on the Bush Hog working.... If you hit something, the impact load can be tremendous..... enough to damage the PTO gears, etc. in the tractor, or gear box on the Bush Hog... The Clutch should be set just tight enough to hold when the tractor is at full power... I loosen mine just enough to let it slip some, in the Spring, then tighten it back up...then I know it is doing it's job of protecting the power train...

Ron,

I have already broken the yoke on the front of clutch housing twice ( $ 100.00 ea ) so I know I have to get this working. I also am having trouble getting the adjusting nut loose.

You might even have to resort to splitting the nut off....then replace it with a grade 8 nut... I would not want to use much heat on the bolts, unless I were going to replace them, too... Again, I would use grade 8 bolts, too.. Isent it nice to work on equipment that has not been maintained...!!!! A little graphite ( sparingly ) on the clutch plates may help get it slipping without tearing up the friction plates--before they polish up.!! Grease, or Anti-Seize the nuts as you assemble it..!!!!! Jam nuts are probably not a bad idea, too..!!
