K0307 Rotary cutter

[pwmattin]

The clutch housing on the John Deere K0307 Rotary mower broke in several parts. Friend hit something, but knew not what, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I'm looking for a slip clutch housing, or a slip clutch that fits the rotary mower. I have been searching all over the internet, but not luck finding parts for this mower. The mower was manufactured in Canada. The model number says K0307. This mower is not a three point hitch. Any information on finding parts for the clutch or a work around would be greatly appreciated. I found the housing new, but the cost was $500-$600 which is way more than I want to pay. Looking for used if possible. Surly, there are mower decks like this sitting around in fields not being used anymore, just rusting away.

Try Maugansville. They are my go-to on CV joints, clutches & shielding.

Hello Hay Dude, checked out the web site, but unable to locate the parts I'm looking for. I may try giving them a call directly and see if they carry any part for this rotary cutter. Again, thanks for the input.

How does the clutch attach to the gearbox? Splined or smooth bore with a cross bolt?
How does it attach to the PTO shaft?

Perhaps an aftermarket slip clutch could be made to work for less $$$

Thanks for the reply. Looking into pinning the slip clutch and find a third party clutch that will work off the PTO. Added more pictures of the broken slip clutch. There is a another section that bolts to the slip clutch that goes to the PTO.
