Rotary Cutter Over run clutches

transformer · Apr 29, 2020

I have a yanmar 2000 an a 4' bush hog and a over run clutch to keep the bush hog from pushing me into trees and stuff when i push the clutch in. the over run clutch is the quick connect type since the yanmar does not have a hole in it's pto i have to use this type. any way, while using the bush hog the other day the clutch came apart don't know why i have all the parts except the little springs and(3) of them and 3 roller or ball bearings if i could find out where i could buy these, i could put it back together. but i have asked tractor supplier's and googled with out success so i had to buy a new one for $75.00 it is a shame that I can not find parts. has any one had this to happen or do you you know where i might find parts for this clutch which has no information of what brand name or model or any info. thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

I don't know the sizes of your springs, obviously, but Home Depot has a wide assortment of springs for sale online. They'll ship free to your store. Most give spring length, diameter, and wire diameter used to wind the spring. I suspect you're after compression springs.

Thanks Roadworthy, I may have to take my new one apart and take some measurements because when this thing came from together it was turning 540 RPMs can, not find the springs and i don't know if the bearings were round or cylinder type but if i take the new one apart might be able to get measurements that way. i was hoping some one knew where to get parts specially for these over run clutches, it also has a special big washer and big Snap ring that looks ok but i would replace if i could find them also i was hoping to find a rebuild kit if there was one but if not, you gave me an idea of another route i can take.

I have a Caroni (Italy) over run clutch from Agri Supply
It is a fine looking piece of machinery.
I do not ever expect it to fail.
