Xtreme Clutch Installation Video

[@insideroller]

Thanks for the Great video Taryl. I was going to buy an OEM clutch when my Beautiful wife! found the Xtreme clutch for way less than OEM. It has been working Great on my Dixon Zero turn 60" Commercial 8025 mower. I went to your video and learned to torque the clutch bolt to 55 lbs and to Burnish in the clutch. I've replaced several parts on my Dixon as it's 18 years old now, but I always look to your video's to make sure I'm doing things properly. I have a lot of grass to mow and leafs to pick up in the Fall! With your help I have been able to keep my Dixon mower running at it's best. Thanks Again Taryl!

[@TheIronDuke502]

Taryl. I replaced the OEM Warner clutch on my John Deere 165 Hydro in which the OEM clutch would not disengage due to a bearing failure. After viewing this video, I purchased the correct Xtreme clutch and followed all of the instructions. The Xtreme Clutch was very impressive both in its quality and appearance over the OEM clutch. If the clutch fails on my 682 Cub Cadet, I will go Xtreme. Best Regards To All Of The Grass Rats From Central KY.

[@Theyralltakenfu]

I learned more from this short video then any video on a clutch replacement so far. Thanks for all the heads up. A lot of what I learned was never mentioned in other tutorial videos.

[@geoffgeoff3333]

The issue XtremeClutch is pointing out is not an electrical problem related to "shorting out" the new clutch, Darrel - it's bc if the voltage is below 13.3V, the clutch will not seat tge flywheel tightly and it will spin, generate heat and burnout. I know this bc my Wheelhorse stator developed a fault and produced less that 13V, so while the tractor would start, the electromagnetic clutch wouldn't sufficiently engage - which caused my old PTO clutch to fail. So: "there's your dinner!"

[@Unclejake]

I just installed one on my John Deere STX, works great, customer support is fantastic as well, the previous owner installed the wrong PTO they helped track down the right one (John Deere changed the design over the years), anyway the previous owner didn't put PTO in the anti-rotation spot and time I fired it up (I bought it not running), spit the clutch across the garage floor, snapped the bolt off inside the crank. Lesson learned don't trust the previous owner on a used lawn mower. Extreme was cheaper then the John Deere warner part and John Deere dealer was trying to sell me the wrong one again, Extreme got me the right part! I highly recommend them.

[@Dbunch57]

How did you get the broken off bolt out of the crankshaft?

[@Unclejake]

Dbunch57 installed a used “new” crankshaft, I tried every trick in the book, it had to be bottomed out on the crank, and torqued in tight....after a few days of messing with it, I found a used one on eBay, and decided I’d install new rings and all...runs great now.

[@randallwilhelmi964]

Your video’s are so great, precise, I wish you lived next door, I work on all riding and o-turn mowers and can’t believe how helpful your videos are. Have a great day Daryl and thank you. Randy

[@lorenzo42p]

just cooked the pto clutch on my cub, blow jobbing the snow. I didn't look at it yet, but I know it cooked cuz it let the smoke out and the pto stopped working. it was original. all the epoxy cracked and fell apart inside. I had cleaned it up and re-epoxied it. worked for a year but it's full on dead now. I suspect the battery isn't charging, which usually isn't any problem at all, cuz if I'm only ever using the battery to start the engine, it actually lasts half the season before I have to charge it again. but, the clutch is a fairly good draw on the battery, which can drain it down much faster. what I think happened, the battery got weak, still plenty to start the engine but not enough to clamp the clutch down tight, so that was probably slipping and causing extra heat. burned the enamel off the coils inside and shorted. good to know in the future, a weak battery can cook the clutch.

[@notavailable9919]

FYI the D-drive on the end where the bolt goes in has flat edges, use a wrench to hold it while torquing.

[@Santreezy]

Do you recommend a regular adjustable wrench to hold the d-drive?

[@notavailable9919]

@@Santreezy Fixed size or adjustable will do the job so long as it fits.

[@michaelpayne8102]

Thanks for the video, I might swap an old style (split pulley mechanical) to one of these in the future on an old Gravely. Have to find the right size, add in an anti rotation, and switch. Gets rid of the lever and extra belt.

[@engineer2001]

I don't even need a clutch yet, and after watching this video, I want to buy an Xtreme clutch now.

[@MrBobWingard]

Don't do it ... they are Chinese Crap.

[@XnnorDaveB]

Great video Taryl ..... You and countless others one KZbin has saved me lots of labour cost on fixes .... A big tip of the hat to you and hope you have a great Holiday season.

[@watermanone7567]

Hi Taryl: I installed an Xtreme clutch on my JD 277. Great clutch. I had a terrible time getting the old clutch off. Do you ever put never seize on the shaft prior to installing a new clutch? The new one on my is way better than the factory clutch. Thanks

[@johnsonslawnserviceministr4038]

Want to thank you for this video because of this video I researched extreme clutches ended up replacing the clutch on my commercial cub cadet tank LZ60 last year with extreme clutch and it has been going strong ever cents 🙏

[@mrbrown6421]

I am repairing/replacing a clutch with 160 hours on it. Craftsman mower (not mine). The automatic reverse PTO cutoff KILLS these clutches. (When the blades stop when you back up). On MY mowers, I bypass that safety switch, but I cannot do it on someone else's mower, unless 2 lawyers are in the room. THanks for THinking !!!! Some guy in North Central Florida.

[@cfd2357]

Just removing this exact clutch off a toro z558, total bearing destruction. Wish I could show pictures, it’s terrible. Great customer service through them, sending me a new one. Hope it goes good. Used exact torque specifications!

[@johngrein3325]

Clutch on my gravely has been engaging very harsh. No transition period from at rest to start. I have replaced all bearings everywhere on the deck. Deck itself spins beautifully. Belt gets about 50 hrs before it snaps when deck is engaged. Compared my clutch engagement to my friends. Guess I never noticed how severe engagement has been getting on my machine. Clutch is 14 yrs old.

[@mackendw]

hey taryl...how do you keep a kohler k series engine from spinning when you torque the clutch on? there flywheel is covered by the shroud and you have to lift the engine to remove it...

[@mackendw]

another video dude online showed me...use a wrench socket on the pto side after taking the outer clutch off. use it as counter pressure as it turns in the opposite direction. both sides can be torqued using the same method.

[@VitiatedsHOWTO]

@@mackendw I have a troybilt super bronco xp 50 their newest one & damn drive belt broke I’ve been looking everywhere to figure out how to remove that damn thing I don’t have a air impact but I do have a 20v battery one hoping that will work I’ve never have taken off a pto clutch before

[@run4funorgo4dough]

Hey Taryl, I just put an xtreme clutch in my scrub cadet GT2186 and most everything went smoooooth. The mufkin studs didn't break and the clutch came off with a little coaxing. My problem is the plug on the new clutch doesn't match the plug on the tractor. The plug on the tractor has a red and black wire but the clutch has two black wires, can I just make a couple of short jumper wires to connect them and how do I determine which is the red / hot wire on the clutch? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[@progers5019]

Hey Taryl. I put one of these xtreme clutches in my Husqvarna yesterday. All went well. Back in business. Thanks for your great how to videos for us DIY guys..

[@wcjcnc]

You can buy a special tool that’s like a big wrench that fits on that spacer the crank bolt goes through to hold the crank while you torque the bolt. Bad Boy part number 070-0000-00. Cub Cadet sells one too but I don’t know the part number. I just made one.

[@elainenilsson5472]

Clutch on the backside of engine is easy, to me. I have on on the UNDER SIDE of a z153. This is gonna suck. Any solutions for jacking the entire machine up?

[@zedwpd]

[@wcjcnc]

Just got done with a zero turn that came in with an electric clutch problem. The customer bought a clutch online made by 8ten. Clutches made by 8ten are junk. I replaced it with a clutch made by Xtreme Outdoor Power. Works great now.

[@MrBobWingard]

Please... I need to know how to keep the cam shaft from moving when re-installing the PTO clutch on a Briggs V-Twin. Advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

[@jean-pierredejon7458]

On my new xtreme pto clutch I had to adjust the clutch gap for it. It was way off. Make sure you check it. Otherwise it worked great on my scag tiger cat.

[@d.4901]

Best video I’ve found yet

[@Luigi-yu5wv]

Your videos are hilarious. Thank you so much. Very much appreciated. God bless you!!!

How do you change a clutch on a great dane walk behind ? Thanks

Taryl dactyl matter of factyl why do you have ten fractyls? I cracked a snactyl on my bactyl…. My goodness gractyl!!! howd you get those shnactyls? You’re my hero Taryl and friends! Love your vids. Very educational and entertaining, hilarious even! And There’s my dinner wooowoooowooooooooowo

[@Georgiagreen317]

As always, good video. Maybe at some point, you could do one on converting the older Ogura's and Warners to the modern Xtreme style with the anti-rotation device. Such as the '80s and 90s Deere and cadets.

[@rossbrunfelt3740]

Hey not sure if you check these but your videos are the best - installed the clutch no problem, but noticed a bunch of other issues on a mower I love - been pretty bulletproof- ‘03 Toro Z153 52” , put on some 8ten brand new spindles and they are stiff, not sure if they are junk / missing something or I’ve got blade bolt or top nut spindle too tight (hard time finding exact torque specs for my model online), any insight appreciated

[@robertforrester4019]

Mr dactal, I need help!! I bought new xt1 50, cub cadet, it has a 7000 series 24 horse Kroller, I did all my bolt checks to make sure they tighten all bolts on thing, they did all except for the pto bolt!! I need to know what the torque spec is i can't find it anywhere, can you help me? Robert from laporte indiana

[@NCDude-hg3no]

Same guy. Is any gap OK?

[@NCDude-hg3no]

No mention of the gap for the electromagnet. Is there a spec for this?? Thanks

My pto makes a loid crack when i engage it. And the mower bogs down. I think its original from 2001. Does it ned changing?

[@Inisfad]

Can you do a similar replacement for a noram blade brake clutch that is not electric but runs off of a belt and spring (and is underneath the machine??)

[@donaldfuller5041]

I am setting up one of these clutches on a homemade atv snow blower where can I get them crank bushings?

[@pbr549]

Interesting video. Let me know if you there's a improved mower deck spindle for the blades. I plan to test some high end Japanese's ball bearings and roller bearing. The cheap John Deere spindle bearings are blocked off from the grease reservoir. I think I have a low resistance circuit in my clutch assembly I will check it in the morning. Like your channel you are the "Gale Banks" of the small engine in my world. Which is like Randolph Scott in the westerns. Take care.

[@traviscaswell2428]

Nice taryl! I have a a John deere 111 they stopped making the mechanical pto clutch, got on the phone with xtreme and just order a electric clutch and I'm gonna convert it over!

[@boboscurse4130]

I wish my Toro clutch was that accessible. Mine is underneath. How do I keep the drive shaft from spinning when I try to remove the old clutch?

[@artistman75]

Thank you, I just finished swapping out the Clutch of my Troy Bilt 50" Mustang XP. While it was a bit of a PITA, your video was helpful.

[@chachifeere]

Mine might be going. After cutting for about an hour , when i shut the blades off they won’t go back on until it cools. The clutch doesn’t seem like it wants to grab . Does a new clutch make the blades go faster ?

[@sidallen685]

The coil in the clutch is getting weak, complete replacement is needed.

[@yeyolara6259]

whats the size of the bolts that holds the water pump

[@JC-pb5tq]

Tried using one on my cub cadet, it failed during first use( rivets broke). They did replace it and the same thing happened. Btw, love your channel you're very entertaining haha

[@saucerone1797]

Had one extreme clutch fail after few years. Bearing failure seems to be the case. Perhaps over tightened bolt or to much vibration to deck. Who knows, Still a good clutch.

[@KraeseRepairs]

I just became a dealer for extreme. Great product.

[@tinypurplefishesrunlaughin8052]

2008 Cub cadet lt1046, xtreme 0008. Antirotation device is a blade guard. The d sleeve is 125inches on the flats. I cant seem to get a good enough bite on it because its recessed in the pully. Any ideas on how I can keep the shift from turning as I torque to 55 ft lbs? Thanks, JD

[@victord3115]

You are great.! I really like the way you explain, am replacing mine tomorrow cub cadet lt1042 . Thanks

[@victoryfirst2878]

Nice job Taryl, you showed me how to fix my beast. And I used a torque wrench to make sure the grip is correct. Peace too. VF

[@davidhallman4011]

Nice clutch! Question. Mixed reviews and input about engaging/disengaging electric PTOs in regards to engine rpm. I was told 3/4 throttle to engage is fine with my Toro ZTR. Disengagement about 3/4 or 1/2? Want to give the clutch the longest, trouble free life as possible.

[@LR-jr5hi]

I believe that it must be built with ceramic bearings. They can take higher temps and they also run cooler...also they are fragile so you have to use a torq wrench...

[@kd5byb]

Put one of those clutches on my "old-enough to drink" Deere STX38 about three months ago...works great! Cost less than the OEM Deere part and since they shipped it from Florida, I had it in three days. :)

[@kevinbone5848]

I am going to buy an Extreme clutch for my ExMark ( replace 103-1364 ) my problem is the old one is stuck on the Crank! Outer bearing is toast.
