So nice to see someone make a repair, rather than remove & replace. Great job.

[@KarenLeiro]

My Husband had the very same problem, and fixed his P.T.O. Clutch the very same way, and it worked a treat, once again it saved us Money and time. That's awesome work you do Taryl. Must be Time for a Beer

[@j_f82]

Never seen any of your videos until this one but just wanted to say, Sir you are a legend!

[@scottgm321]

Sweet Mother of Pearl, this really works. A friend of mine paid $500 for a cub cadet that wouldn't mow. The locking bar was bent back so the clutch was spinning and the wires ripped out. I did this trick and it's a mowing monster now. Cub cadet wanted $475 for a new clutch. Thanks Taryl

[@cypriano8763]

Dude. Totally worked. Thanx saved me 300$ plus my lawn was gettin pretty long. Just threw screws in the wire hole. Easy

[@nheng6913]

Damned tree roots jammed and tore the deck belt which jammed and broke the clutch retaining pin, which let it spin and shear the wires on the original, Japanese, Ma Gt Jd11 clutch. This thing was still in good shape after 20+ years on a Troy tractor. These wires come out the top and take a hard right bend under the lip of the formed clutch housing. I drove a smaller sheet metal screw, coated in solder paste (from electronics work), down into and along side the wire stub. The other wire has 1.5" left. All I can say is You are a genius. Saved me big bucks and kept my quality Japanese clutch.

Thanks for the tip! That's a quick and simple repair that most would overlook. I've had a few like that and never thought of that. Saves the customer around $300 for a new one. I've just reopened my shop after 8 years and the prices for parts now is ridiculous. Manufactures don't want their products fixed, just throw away and buy new. I have a series 3 snapper rider that's 38 years old, works like a new one.

[@paddyboom122]

Thanks so much, Im in the process of removing my clutch right now for the exact same problem..I was worried about this repair! NOT NOW HERES YOUR DINNER!!!

[@leopitre7907]

Best dude on KZbin for more repairs... especially for years of learned mechanic tricks that save you time and money.

[@royeyles2733]

Thanks so much Taryl from New Zealand for your helpful videos. Should of looked you up earlier, might have saved some cash.

[@uncleeddiesspecialties]

That fix is awesome, totally saved me like 168.00, much appreciated for the info, need it for the Cub Cadet SLT1554, to hold me over until I get parts for my Onan P-20XSL for a Massey Ferguson 1655 GT, knowing how much you love them Onan's..lol

[@mhsandifer]

Awesome video fellers. After more than a few hours troubleshooting switches, relays and wiring, I had a wire broken right at the PTO connection. I had wiggled that last piece of the harness quite a few times, but it didn't connect until I grabbed it right at the connector. Cut the wires about an inch from the connector, crimped the eyes on and screwed em down. You saved me at least 170 on an OEM PTO and several hundred for a Cub Cadet PTO. Thanks a megaton shitload for that.

[@progers5019]

Thanks Taryl. The wires on my Husqvarna YTH-2348 had gotten broken/cut twice. The second time I found the anti-spin rod popped up out of the hole in the top of the clutch. Ah Haaa I said. Put that back in and tightened it down, spliced out the wire, cut the front yard, then by the time I got to the back, it did it again. After watching another techn video, the guy says if you ohm out the clutch leads and it's under say 2.5 you need a new clutch. I ohmed mine it was .002 which is pratically zero. I have ordered a new clutch but didn't get the new thicker bar type anti spin rod. I think I'll order one so will have more meat holding it in the slot. What I didn't tell ya yet was I had been hearing a loud singing noise for months, but didn't quit mowing. It was prolly that clutch bearing going bad. I'm not a mechanic but try to fix my own stuff when possible. Thanks for all of your great videos and love the built in humor too. Great channel good buddy.

[@redcloud1023]

Perfect execution!! Thanks Taryl!

[@matttorma6787]

Jesus Christ you are a savior. Me and my friends were just trying to figure out how to repair my pto clutch that had disconnected. We came across this video and not only laughed out asses off but also got the secret trick to avoid buying a new $120 clutch. You guys rock.

[@TarylFixesAll]

Matt Torma thank you sir! And There's Yur Dinner!! Check out my other videos, lots 'O shenanigans.

[@chrismaze3441]

Matt Torma damn 120 bucks is cheap most are 300+

[@danbasta3677]

Matt Torma 120? Try 7 to 800 dollars for a PTO clutch.

[@chrismaze3441]

Dan Basta if you paid 700 I need to buy a truck load of the 400 dollar ones and sell them to you

[@danbasta3677]

Chris n Tracy Maze Just stating a fact here. Currently, I am having a problem with my power take off on my International Harvester Cub Cadet tractor, 982. Worked fine, mowwd the grass with it, put it in the shade, let it cool off as i baby my equipment, went to start it up and do a little more mowing, hit the power take off switch, and, nothing. Fuses are good, getting electricity going to it, even when the engine is off, the tractor will start, engage the pto, and when the tractor ignition is off, turning the pto switch on, tractor won't star, shut the pto off, tractor will start. Replaced the switch, still the same problem. Priced the pto clutch, cost 7 to 800 hundred dollars for this unit. It would cost exactly the same for a Power King tractor as well to. Sorry sir, parts are expensive, these outfits know this, and it's something you need, and you HAVE to pay it, or do without, your choice. This is a fact. I do agree with you, yes, it's highway robbery, however what are ya gonna do?

[@johnhuffman2694]

Thanks very much for the useful info. Was fixing up a mower for my son and working on a small budget. This saved us much time and money along with being very entertaining.

[@motzartiana]

Once again Taryl shows how much of a master he is as a mechanic !

[@michaelnesbitt4260]

That's pure genius right there

[@KeithChildress]

The spade connector broke off inside the PTO clutch. I thought I was going to have to buy a new clutch. I tried the tip suggested in this video and it worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

[@andybcumming1]

Another great fix. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. Keep them coming.

[@jimjones1678]

Tim I love your videos and your ingenuity. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us.

[@alexandersigaran4551]

Thank you guys I was trying to fix my pto wire I couldn't for 6 months,and you guys open my mind know I don't have to spend $$$250 for a new pto thank you guys

[@fuelpro1]

Very funny! And thanks for the repair advice.

[@davideby2217]

Tarly, you’re a genius in disguise!! When I pulled a branch from above my deck, it ripped out the wires from the clutch and blew the fuse. Followed your instructions and, after spending $2.49 for eyelets, had my 9 year old mower running again. Saved enough money to buy a new power washer. Thanks Tarly, you’re super!

[@MrBrandon9559]

This video saved me from buying a new clutch. Thank you.

[@USMC-Sniper-0137]

Nothing less than pure shock and awe I tell ya!!!!! You are da bomb Taryl!!!!!WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOWOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WEW WEW WEW HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Annnnnnnnnnnd there's your DINNER!!!!!!!

[@markdavis7982]

That simple fix just made my day !!!!

[@acscolo]

Excellent video and repair information. I've used it all ready on one of my customer's clutch. Don't forget to use that special tool to test the clutch after repair. It's called a bat-tree

[@marshacrowdus]

Oh my goodness! Just finished doing this, It works!! Woo hoo! Thanks for saving me MONEY!

[@bobmcl2406]

Man, thanks so much for this tip! Followed your instructions, and it worked perfectly. Keep this stuff coming.

[@mrshobbs214]

great video! husband was drinking too much and ended up ripping wires out also. thank god I found this so we dont have to spend the money to buy a new clutch. woohoo!

[@danbasta3677]

Amanda H Yeah, they are like 7 to 800 dollars for a Power Take Off clutch.

[@leesluga545]

no - most can be had for around $200-300.

[@BlakeDavis-km9wq]

@@leesluga545 wonder where he got that from I have never seen a PTO clutch for a mower that pricy. 200-300 for most of them.

[@USMC-Sniper-0137]

And there's your DINNER!!!!!!!!!

[@sheriff923]

Blake .Davis then you’ve never seen one for a cub cadet tank M60. $500 minimum oem price. But still not 7-800

[@tbsomerville5798]

Wonderful however I have 1 question, how do you know what wire is hot when you do that? Or does it not matter? I was wondering about reverse polarity.

[@RetroCat969]

It doesn't, it will work whatever way you hook it up

[@PageMarker1]

@@RetroCat969 Thank you very much for that answer!

Oh, you the man, I just been soldering the nubs and hoping for the best !!

9 years later and glad I found this!!

Thank you Taryl! The videos are great and entertaining. Besides it helps a lot to talk like you when I get stuck - makes the problem smaller and makes me feel smarter. Where can I get some of those teeth?

I just got a Troy-bilt lawn tractor that has the same problem.. Thanks for saving me a wad of cash.

[@tatechasers2393]

thank you, couldn't figure out why the entire clutch was turning, there's a little lock bar that hangs down and goes into the clutch, couldn't see it when I took it apart

I'm waiting for Taryl's 'Home Dentistry' series. Gonna save me thou$ands and attract all th' purty wimmerns.

[@DAS-Videos]

That is a good tip. I had to change the drive belt on my Ariens, and it is just a piece of metal that the clutch jams against, and the clutch has a little play. I guess it was designed to have play in it like that.

[@evsnova74]

Good stuff as always. Do you have any tricks when it comes to worn out throttle shaft bushings? Or do they just need replaced every time?

[@prmann1578]

Great video. Thanks for the help!

[@stevanrose7439]

Great idea way to go 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@markfothebeast]

I have a similar looking clutch on a Toro 597Z. Replaced it last year with a new unit. The wires worked there way out of the jacket that enters the clutch through a small hole and touched together from the friction. I'm attempting to understand if I can externally mount the wires rather than putting them through the hole to the inside?

[@brettreynolds8014]

Any idea why the pto won't engage with the switch? I did as the video and have tested with a battery, all works fine, but then when connected to the factory connection nothing engages. Thkx a bunch.

[@toronadogofast7868]

I do simular repairs. But I make an "S" bracket and drill 2 small holes in it and glob the silicone over the bracket and connection going into the coil and zip the the wires to it.

[@mr.somewhere2678]

Hot damn, you done saved my pto clutch buddy👍🏻
