mx5200 dt clutch

Any one know of a after market clutch for these that are beefier than stock. mine has around 575 hours on it and just went through the first one

The stock clutch and pressure plate is the heaviest you'll find.

Been doing a lot of loader work with it?
Or was the clutch not adjusted properly and slipping?

clutch was a little tight but the answer is yes a lot of loader work. originally noticed it burning some while digging holes to bury dead animals over winter. I think a lot of back and forth and digging frozen ground. finished it off by brush hogging new ground and pushing over autumn olive bushes

I would put a good aftermarket clutch and pressure plate in it (will save you a ton of money) and keep a really close eye on slipping the clutch and clutch adjustment.

Looks like it will save me around 6-700.00 im not aware that i slip the clutch but will def be something I watch for now.

Did you align the clutch disk to the pilot bearing or the crank?

Do you have everything square and level?

Did you remove the propeller shaft?

I could not locate a pilot bearing on this tractor I purchased a clutch tool and aligned as best as I could to the crank. I also called my local dealer and they assured me this unit dosent have a pilot bearing. As for level Im working on gravel in a driveway so not the easiest to do. Wouldnt aligning on bolts do the same thing. And no I didnt remove the shaft. But tractor is in neutral.

You must remove the propeller shaft to put it together.
Your more than likely not aligning up on the splines on the coupler.

Yes no pilot bushing, That model has 2 sets of splines that need to be aligned from the transmission input, one spline is in the hub on the flywheel and one on the clutch disk.
DO NOT force it together, doing so will almost guarantee you will break parts.
You can manually turn the crankshaft on the engine to get them to align.
