PTO clutch relining

[loopman]

Hello,

It would appear I have a failed PTO independent wet clutch in my Iseki, I haven't yet removed it but PTO has no torque behind it and the filter for the oil the clutch is in was full of what appears to be friction material.

Does anyone know if these are able to be relined? If so, are the materials available to do this yourself? It is very very difficult to obtain parts for this machinein Australia (Iseki TE4270 4WD).

There's bound to be a brake & clutch specialist somewhere up your way, I'd give them a call and ask about relining the friction plates.
This mob are in Sydney and their website says they reline motorcycle clutch plates with a variety of materials.

I have seen clutches where the entire plate was made of friction material (obviously modified for strength); if a single plate fails, no output power. However, it's possible that only a single plate has failed, but the others are in good shape, in which case you'd need to find only one new one.

I was also going to suggest someone who relines motorcycle plates.

The clutch looks a lot like a motorcycle wet clutch. The driven plates typically have very thin layers of friction material which is glued on. A specialist can do that but it'd be tough for a home mechanic.
