OK. Continuing this thread that had the large images and was slow loading.
I'm to the point where the engine has been pulled and the clutch removed.
Here's the clutch bell housing. It came off after a 1/4-turn to the right.
The clutch pack. It's a Rockford RM single disc clutch--9" dia. Pretty simple design. Similar clutches were used on a lot of farm equipment 60 years ago.
Pressure plate. Looks pretty OK but I'll inspect it more closely later.
The facing against the flywheel.
I've slowed down a little on this project the past week while calibrating my restored Minneapolis Moline P3-6 grain drill for oats and fertilizer. I should finish that work tomorrow and then get back to the BF engine disassembly.
Next steps--remove flywheel, housing and front pulley on the crankshaft. Then mount the engine on the service stand.
I checked with the machine shop in Red Bluff today. They can hot tank the block, machine the head, grind the flywheel, and seat the valves--all at a reasonable cost. That'll speed up the engine work considerably.
