Here I am removing the rear PTO cover. Nice big gears in there.

Oh my, look at the pieces of clutch friction disk in there! I picked
out enough fragments for more than one whole disk. There are probably
enough small fragment to fill a 2-oz cup. These are the fragments that
adhered to the suction filter above.

The PTO on this tractor is engaged mechanically and the rental yard has
had a bunch of them broken when the renter engages the clutch at
high RPM with a rotary mower attached. Sometimes the whole clutch
"basket" disintegrated.
