Sovereign PTO Cone Clutch Reline

[Bill725]

With the Sovereign PTO cone clutch NLA and the brake currently priced at $353 and I expect to be NLA soon, I sent a set to be relined by Brake Materials and Parts located in Fort Wayne, IN. Paint black tomorrow.

Hello , that is a great solution .   

I have thought about how to create the clutch lining to fit the cone clutch.

But never needed to  do it .     Hope the cost was reasonable.

Thanks Ken in Mi

Brake Materials & Parts state they have relined these parts before and they knew exactly what I was talking about when I called them. I previously spent a considerable amount of time investigating both friction materials, hot bond adhesives and process to reline myself. Problem is, I am unable to purchase the materials. They use the exact materials and process I was looking at. And they said if there was any problem to contact them.

Guess when the snow clears, and weather changes, I need to check my inventory.

I think I have one new one, but am sure I have one or more that could be rebuilt.

I recall some members previously using some kind of leather to line these but unsure of the longevity for that repair.!

I've relined with leather a few times.  I bought some thick leather off ebay and adhered with contact cement.  Typically lasts about 3 years or so.  Heavy tiller use shortens the life a little.

I just sent 4 cones to be relined to Brake Materials and Parts. Scott there is a great guy. I made a post on the FB Group 700 / 900 Series garden tractors about it. I think he'll see a lot of business from us Simplicity owners.

Industrial Brake & Clutch Inc. in Seminole, FL is another potential business to reline.
