Finally got to see what was left of the Power Majors Clutch today.
I think a rebuild is out of the question.
I am amazed that the tractor moved at all.....
The alloy cover plate is in three pieces
Part of one of the discs is trying to leave
Some pins are held in with wire

Re: Testament to the strength of a Fordson
Too bad the top plate is cracked. Looks like you will have to shop around or resort to used parts. Agriline lists one, but it is out of stock at this time and expensive.

Hi
Well I guess I could think Of a descriptive word beginning with F and ending in d to describe that clutch, Sadly it looks like someone else had the best 300 Euros out of it , it still looks better than the one my friend pulled out a few years ago though, His exploded into 300 small parts and the biggest bit was about 2" and it all half filled a wheel barrow .
I hope you have some good luck on a used replacement
Regards Robert

I have no idea why but I thought fractured was what was meant

Real tractors don't need tin work to be beautiful.
Re: Testament to the strength of a Fordson
Fubar isn't really appropriate as it can still be recognized as a clutch!!!
Never give up!
