Thanks to Brian I have all the parts necessary to rebuild the clutch on my 448. :thumbsup:
I have assembled it (several times) according to the diagram in the Parts manual page 26. Given that the serial number is 9789742 I am following the alternate assembly in the small box at the bottom left of the page. Everything goes together well but the snowcaster runs as soon as the engine starts regardless of the clutch lever position. Given that I cannot disengage the drive, I have obviously assembled things wrong.
When I check the friction plate clearance it is much more than the book figure (7 thou. max) but I cannot reduce it because the adjust nut (#18) bottoms out against the end of the threaded portion of the shaft. I know I must have done something wrong but I'm darned if I can figure out what :headscratcher: :headscratcher: :headscratcher:
Also, I have one spacer which measures 0.0160 in thickness which I assume is item 19, am I correct to assume this and can I use 2 item 8 spacers to make up for the second item 19 which appears to be missing?
Please guys, help me out here before I take a hammer to the old gal :chopwood:
