PTO CLUTCH NOISE ON 2155

[BRANCH1955]

I'M A NEW CUB OWNER WITH A QUESTION. THE ELECTRIC CLUTCH ON MY 2155 ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES PERFECTLY. THERE IS NO NOISE WHEN IT IS ENGAGED. WHEN DISENGAGED THERE IS A CONTINOUS HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE. IS THIS NORMAL? I BOUGHT THIS TRACTOR USED AND IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS.

It sounds like the clutch gap might be set too close causing the clutch plate to drag while disengaged. There should be .020-.025 inch clearance checked at least three places around the circumference.
