John Deere 855D Park Brake clutch pac install

Easy to replace.

Hrs. 1878 on this unit .

I did a few years ago adjusted cable to get a little more life out of them.

That was a big job and hoped cable was streatched enough to not have to readjust.

It's called a wet clutch used to lock transmission for park . 

As with most golf equipment .... not cheap .
Nice kit .


You may or may not need the seal kit. 
Mine tore the gasket a bit so was glad I had ordered it now.




Vent tube was pretty brittle so I cut it back to install it later.
Remove the 2 large 3/4"bolts.


clean work area and part your working on and I also tied the mud flap out of my way.



T30 bolts removed.




There are 3 tabs to twist the cover off. 
Easily seprated.


Brake clutch pac, also new pins in kit.
Layered with metal first and last.


Bearing looks great.


It was quick work to clean up cover.


Replace seal and o ring from seal kit.



Old clutch pac didn't look to worn out.
Looks are deceiving.
Put a little grease on seal and o ring.


Install all bolts finger tight and pre fit it on splined shaft to line up clutch splines.
Carefully removed and tighten up.
Carefully they are not that tight.I'd be guessing 20 in. lbs 
would be plenty.


If there is an issue lining it up you can also rock the shaft back and forth.


Install the bolts don't over do it it is aluminium.
Adding JD 20 to clutch pac through vent hole till it weeps out lower port. 
Do it slowly or it might just go in and right out . 

 
Reinstalled vent. 
Park brake working normal again with only a half pull up .
