| Evening, Surfing through ebay, found this - Transaxle with pressure clutch fittedIt appears to be a Peerless 900/MST series trans fitted with a 'Pressure Clutch' on top of the pulley. Never seen one of these before. Anyone know how these work, what's the advantage of them over a belt clutch?Ride-On-Mower-Gearbox-With-Pressure-Clutch-Fitted

| I imagine it would work the same as a car type clutch. Your v belt wouldn't need a clutch, just would need to be tight all the time. "Real" style clutch like this would be much less hassle than a v-belt clutch setup. Honda liquid cooled lawn tractors have a setup sort of like this from the factory and of course cub cadets are a more popular example. | |

| The trans in my Rat Rod had one of these setups on it. The friction disk was too wore out though, so I had to do away with it.

| Interesting. Was that the 600 in your Rat rod or the previous trans?
From the research I've done, it's two friction plates that ride together when the cable is pulled. | |

| Interesting, never seen a setup like that.
I wonder if it would be prone to slipping when submerged. Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

I wonder if it would be prone to slipping when submerged. It probably would slip, unless you could stop water/mud getting into the disks somehow. - AllisKidD21 wrote:

Cool, I'm sure it is very hard to find parts for it though. Probably cost the earth to get a new disk or whatever it needed. | |
