I don't know exactly what that specific slip clutch looks like, but most are made up of an input hub attached to the PTO shaft, a set of discs and plates, a heavy spring washer or a set of small springs that apply pressure to the discs and plates, and an output hub or plate attached to the cutter's gearbox input shaft. The whole assembly is usually held together with about six or eight bolts. These bolts compress the assembly and control how much pressure the spring puts on the discs/plates. These bolts must be tightened evenly, and the procedure will be found in the machine's manual. Tighten them too little, and the clutch will slip, tighten them too much, and the clutch will not slip and cause damage to the machine, which is why I wouldn't recommend just trying to tighten the bolts a little, I'll leave that for you to decide. Heat is a definite sign that it has been slipping. Since your clutch has been slipping, I would recommend taking it apart to see what the discs look like. You'll probably find that they are worn and damaged. Ask the Bush Hog dealer for the procedure for setting up the clutch when you go to buy whatever parts you need.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
