Good to hear your story has a happy ending Brad. That dealer will be getting referrals from you now /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Brad, attached is a picture from the Woods manual that shows the differences between a shear bolt and slip clutch drive shaft. It looks like the only external difference is the clutch shield, Part 28.

Thanks Mike.

This might turn out to be a funny story. I say might because I don't know the ending for sure yet. The original reason I had asked was because I saw that piece on my neighbor's and he said he had the shear bolt like mine. So I asked the dealer last night and he said he did have the shear bolt, identical to mine. I said I had noticed that piece and thought he might have had the slip clutch.

Well right before the dealer left, he asked me again what I had seen. He said that two cutters came in the same day, one w/ slip clutch, one w/o. That was the day before my neighbor's was delivered. The dealer (I call him the dealer because he owns the place and sold me my tractor) didn't sell or deliver to my neighbor, one of the salesmen did.

The funny part was, as soon as he left my house, I saw him turn up my neighbor's driveway. I believe the salesman delivered the wrong cutter! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I kind of feel sorry for my neighbor, but now I know why I was confused originally. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

So the final outcome of all this is;

1. You get a brand new driveshaft at no charge.
2. Your neighbor gets a bill for a slip clutch.

Uh Oh looks like neighbor Jones just got busted. Wonder if he will keep the slip clutch.
