Where can I find this electric clutch?

[wdenton]

Hello
I finally figured out what was wrong with my John Deere 318
I have the onan engine on it.

I multimeter the electric clutch after replacing fuses and I am only showing .02

So I am guessing the clutch is bad.

Does anyone know where I can get one for a good price.

It currently has a Ogura GT1-TR01 051009
I don't care if I get an ogura or a aftermarket one. I just want to mow my lawn

0.02 Ohms is is very low for the pto coil. That would relate to a 600 Amp draw.
Have you removed the clutch and inspected the potting on the field coil? ( is it worn through to bare wires?) usually if the field coil is scraped down to bare wires the bearing is also bad. If the clutch is still in good shape you could just replace the field coil and bearing saving a couple hundred dollars.
I would post your problem at Weekend Freedom Machines and I am sure Boomer could set you up with some parts.

Thanks for the reply
I have removed the clutch and the bearing looks and feels great.
I am not sure what the potting is but I do not see any nics on the wire so I think it is just the coil. when looking at it I was not sure how to get it apart since it looks like it is pressed or stamped together.

Look at jdparts.com to see how the clutch goes together as it shows individual clutch parts. Free registration.

The field winding coil runs about $200.. and the whole clutch on eBay about $400.

You might look at the gap spacing in the clutch. I remember reading about that when I was diagnosing mine. I, however, ended up having to replace the entire clutch. Mine would quit working when it would get hot.
