CLUTCH/BRAKE BURNISHING
A new clutch, or one that has not been
used for three months, will require
burnishing to dress drive surfaces. The
clutch could fail if you do not
accomplish the following procedure.
Place tractor in neutral, start engine and run at
half throttle. Turn clutch switch on 30 seconds
and off 30 seconds, five times at half-throttle and
repeat five times at full throttle. The time interval
allows the clutch surface to cool.
CLUTCH REMOVAL/
REPLACEMENT

unlatching the two rubber draw latches on top
and pulling the shield up and out.

in “Mule Drive Belt Removal” section.
3. Remove the center bolt (B) and slide the
