A BIG shoutout to Earth Tools in Kentucky.
I was flail mowing when I encountered some hidden, 50 year old, fencing wire - that stuff doesn't give!. Managed to clear the mower but discovered I had no clutch. Got the machine back to my workshop and pulled the clutch (hoping it was just stuck) it was not good. Used the Earth Tools instructions for clutch removal and replacement, at the end it said they could possibly repair the clutch and save me $$$$s. I got a quote from a Canadian distributor for a new clutch - $CAD700!!!, PartsTree quoted me $CAD500 including shipping. I decided to mail it to Earth Tools to see what they could do. Long story short, they rebuilt it and I got it back today - works like new. Total, with shipping each way, around $CAD220. I'm a happy camper
