Rotary Cutter BB72 Slip Clutch

[whsnyderiii]

I'm looking at buying about a 10 year old BB72. It isn't in bad condition but I want to make sure this has a slip clutch. I know the newer ones do, but I'm not sure about this older model. I was hoping someone can tell me because I'm not able to get down to it and having never laid my hands on one (yet) I don't know if it is possibly picture here. Hopefully someone either knows for sure they do have a slip clutch or can identify it in one of these pictures. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can see the clutch in pictures.

if you do purchase it make sure that you check to see that the slipper clutch is free and not frozen before you use it. Especially since it has sat outside, the friction material and plates may be rusted together. You do this my loosening the spring bolts and then turning on the pto it should slip the clutch and break any corrosion free without spinning the blades. YOu then need to retighten all the bolts evenly such that the spring is compressed to the correct length usually specified in the owners manual. One of the guys i worked with failed to do this and turned his pto shaft on his king kutter into a pretzel when he hit something hard.
