I'm missing part of the hydro drive belt. Removed mower deck. Was wondering if there is any tricks I need to know about pulling the clutch off, to remove belt. All I seen was looks like a 10mm bolt on the bottom. My guess is may need to use a puller to remove. Any info will help before I get around to doing it in a couple days. Thanks

Barry, that screw in the end of the crankshaft is all that holds the clutch on. No set screws or clips to remove and/or lose. Don't forget to first unplug the power lead and feed it down through the hole in the frame plate...like I did.

Check the clutch bearings while you have it off as the heat from the exhaust is hard on them. I have an '89 model and am on the 3rd set of clutch bearings. The good news is that they are standard bearings and available at a good bearing supply store. They have been crimped in at the factory but a little persistence knocking them out is a LOT cheaper than a new clutch.

How about a smoking clutch? I have a 1989 STX38, it has run great over the 4 years I've owned it (bought it used at a JD dealer) but recently the mower clutch has occasionaly smoked and smelled like burning rubber. Today it quit completely while mowing, then started up again after I shut it down for a few minutes. Like most men, I read the directions AFTER there was a problem, and found out that you are not supposed to engage the mower at full throttle. D'oh! I've done that for the whole time I've owned it.
Does it sound like I need a new mower clutch? Is there any adjustment I can make?
