7016 front PTO - clutch plate help

[DeltaBravo 0]

When I bought it, my 7016 came with the clutch plate as a seperate item! I haven't taken it apart, but based on the manual and the recent front pto discussion, maybe the key sheared, so the clutch plate was removed and the front pto put back together. Any credibility to this theory? Anyone know the part number for the key (item c)?

Maybe replaced the bearing?

Thanks for the info. From the manual pic the clutch plate appears to have a key slot. I'll have to check the bearing also. Most likely a cheap fix, I'm thinking.
