I believe I understand how to test the slip clutch of my rotary cutter by loosening the bolts and operating the PTO to be sure that the loosened slip clutch is free and will protect the rest of the cutter and drive system. But if the clutch does NOT spin free, and the plates are stuck, how does one free the plates so it operates properly?
In a nutshell, how does one free the stuck plates of a slip clutch? Penetrating oil seems to be the equivalent of greasing squeaky brakes, but perhaps penetrating oil could be burned off after it is released. Anyway, how does one free a stuck slip clutch?
