Salty has sent me a PM and requested that I post the further question and re-open the thread....
Deejay,
You mentioned in a early post in this thread that:
"Don't forget also that the cutter clutch should be in balance; otherwise vibration will cause further damage"
Could you please elaborate how to check this, and adjust if necessary?
Thanks.
What I am advising there is that any modifications to the clutch halves or attachment screws
may cause a slight out of balance problem.
When you purchase the replacement clutch half, it will be fitted with the two grub screws and
no hole for the captive cotter....this, when attached to its opposite half, will be in balance. I also suggest that you source three high tensile countersunk screws and three nyloc nuts to replace the attachment screws you now have...as they are too long.
