The slip clutch on my British made Blecavator tiller gave up the ghost. It had a Eurocardan slip clutch with built in yoke so I measured the caps and it matched up to a series 4 size (1 1/16"). I ordered a new clutch with yoke half. Went to assemble the cross tee into the yoke. Pressed in both bearing caps about 2/3 of the way. I installed the snap ring in one side and pressed the bearing tight to the snap ring. I look at the other side and the snap ring groove is not visible.
I disassembled it thinking that one of the needle bearings popped out and is at the end of the cap keeping it from bottoming. Nope, all the needle bearing are in place. I measure the width of the cross an it's about .050" wider than the new slip clutch yoke, snap ring to snap ring. I go online and determine that a series 4 yoke matches the dimensions of the new slip clutch.
For some reason, the Brits in their infinite wisdom decided to make the cross bearing about .050" wider than a standard series 4 cross tee even though the clutch is a Eurocardan.
Grrr... Ordered a new Cross Tee kit to match the new yoke.
