The pto clutch I do not need in the winter but I REALLY could have used it this fall. The drive clutch had started to slip a little under heavy load in 1st and 2nt, that Is why I dove into it when I had the rear end all apart. I thought it would be an easy check and replace in needed at that time. Little did I know.How bad do you really need the clutch???
Just bolt it all together and run it tell it stops!
Why not just have the flywheel machined flat to remove the rise? It seems to me that the clutch disks might be thicker than the originals were. I bet if the height of the original housing was measured, one would find that it's a few mm taller than the replacement. What I'm wondering is if the replacement is designed to work with a flat flywheel rather than one with a rise. Might be easier (and cheaper) than having new arms machined.
Is there any way to contact the actual clutch pack manufacturer? Would seem to me that they'd be able to tell you what they designed it to fit (flywheel that's flat vs rise).

The clutch cover for the first stage has a 2mm grove machined into the inside so that when it is bolted to the flywheel it locks it in place preventing centrifugal force from moving it around. Also, with a tolerance of 0.05mm, you would have to machine it down in stages,(70$ per machining), or risk having to replace the flywheel and start all over.
The replacement is designed to be used with a rise in the flywheel per Kubota Corp USA.
I have left several messages with A&I and have not got a call back yet.
Thanks for the response.
Is there any kind of machinist's trick you can use to see what portions of the parts are making contact when everything is assembled?

When I took it to the dealer they used a camera attached to a flexible optic fiber to look inside everywhere they could.
Thanks for the reply.

Just got it back from a machines at 5:00pm tonight. After working his magic, using a press in his shop the second stage disengages with travel left in the arms but still should have enough clearance before contacting the bearing. Will be bolting it up tomorrow and updating how/if it is working.
Thanks for asking.

Well, that about sums up my mood right now!
Bolted and torqued the fly wheel and clutch assembly in the tractor. Double, triple checked adjustments, bolted up trans. Something must be wrong. BOTH stages disengage as they should with plenty of adjustments to play with.
It is amazing what you can do in about three months with 4 different clutch assemblies, two different suppliers, countless hours of frustration, a running thread with over 100 posts and about $300 to have the last assembly checked out by a machinist to clean up bad machining by the manufacture and fabricate some new parts.
All in all, about what you would expect to swap out a clutch assembly!
Tomorrow I start to put the rest of the tractor back together. Hopefully there will not be any major hangups, I know there is bound to be some small ones.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for their time and patients in helping me through this.

Wow, way to hang in there. I read every post in the thread, you had a lot of people rooting for you!

I've been waiting patiently to hear more about this...
Great news!!!!
So what did he do exactly? Curious if he machined new assembly rod releases like you mentioned? If he did, it would be great if you posted the dimensions of the new one(s) so the next person who runs into this knows what to do for a fix.
Hope it works!!!!

Have to bolt the fenders, seat, steering column, fuel tank, floor boards and hood back on. Have not done these yet because I have a couple of gremlins in the electrical system that I meed to fix and it is easier to have these parts out of the way to work on the electrical. These parts were removed to replace the clutch and rear differential anyways. Everything else is done. Linkage all adjusted, all fluids and filters changes, everything greased.
Thanks for asking.
