Strange Hex Clutch

[#0002 Paul W.]

Hi,
I have a strange hex clutch ( or, at least, part of it) that I am trying to find info on.
Go to this page and check it out:

Send me an e-mail if you have (or think you have) any info.
Thanks!
Later .......

Hi,
I think we have an answer to the strange hex clutch question.
J.F. sent me this note:
"Paul,
Saw your question on my site.
That clutch looks like one I have seen used for small bore tractor pulling here in the mid-Michigan area.
There was a guy from Cheasaning that had a Kohler K650-2SS mounted in, I believe, a Wheel Horse chassis.
He had a hand operated lever that applied pressure to the clutch as needed against the thrust face of the bearing.
It was gutted, no spider or ramps.
He did quite well with it in the open class, I hear.
Claimed it was his own design, but now that I see you have one in Wisconsin I'm beginning to wonder about his claim.
Sorry I can't contact him for you as I threw him out of my shop last year for being a total idiot in front of my customers."
