SAME Clutch Repair

fluidpp · May 7, 2017

Hi All, My SAME Centauro 65 is in need of some TLC. PTO is weak and Hydraulics are weak. The tractor has a two stage clutch and I believe that the second stage is slipping. So I split the tractor and pulled the clutch. Both friction dics are in tact and still some meat left.
The clutch consists of, fly wheel, primary disc, primary pressure plate, spring set, secondary pressure plate, secondary disc, clutch housing.
On the secondary side (PTO Clutch), the contact on the PP is not even, PP is worn and corroded. Also the fingers on the PP's that move through the housing, allowing the clutch to be engaged and disengaged were some what Siezed. This would explain why the secondary was not engaging. I think.
The thing really needs to go to a shop and get rebuilt, but im afraid what that may cost. As all the parts will have to be refurbished or custom made. I cant seem to find a clutch for this thing.. any where..
Any suggestions Please

Also im trying to upload pics and a vid to this site... Cant seem to do it any help would be appreciated

You might try here as a start
Same Centauro 65 clutch (new) - TractorFan clutch exchange
It might lead to something.

Just freeing up the release fingers might do it, but if I were to split a tractor, I might feel like replacing anything suspect in the clutch.

That tractor, in some variation was also sold under other brands like AGCO, so I'd be checking cross references there...

I'd be replacing anything that looks worn, and just suffer through the cost!!
