While out last week I had my primary clutch crack in half and fall off. Had hell getting the other half off the crank. Accidentally got too close to crank while trying to cut it off. Also the clutch seemed to almost weld itself to the crank. Are these issues with the crank going to effect the the mounting of the new clutch and or the balance. Should I even try and run it.

That crank is toast. That is very unfortunate because that will be a very expensive fix. Definitely will have to replace it.

Is that a crack under the oil line?

What year is the motor or what's the #s on the PTO end of the crank? I might have a good PTO end for it.

Ok should be a Fuji crank I'll look and see what I have. Otherwise my crank builder has a shelf full of new OEM cranks.

After it cracked it spun on the crank, which is why it seemed to be welded. The case does looked chipped behind the top of the torque stop and below where the plastic cover starts over the oil line. Someone gets to split the case, might as well freshen up the top.

I do have a PTO end for that crank. Where are you located?

Durango Colorado. So I for sure need to preplace it?

Your clutch needs to fit on the taper tight and have contact all the way around.

Really shouldn't be to expensive of a fix. It will be more of your time that gets eaten up. Unless you are paying someone to pull the motor and split it. Then it will be a good chunk of change.

So I can get away with just repacking the pto end. Should the worry about the crank itself from the clutch breaking and possibly spinning on the crank.

When the end gets replaced have them check out the rest of the crank and have them true the crank.

I'll get a price for you on Monday for the new one and I'll ask him roughly how much it would cost to fix your old 1. As far as fixing your old 1 a good crankshaft rebuild shop should be able to fix it. Theres a shop locally here that I use he's also the one with new cranks or you could send it out to indy specialties or Utah crankshafts I dont know of any in CO. If you want to get back on the snow soon a new crank would be your best bet.
