If it helps, here's the clutch shaft after pulling off bolt/adjustment knob/washer/spacer/collar...

The clutch came to me with 2 spacers, an ultra thin 'washer' that is about 1 3/4" wide and then a thicker one, the size of a ring for your finger. As well, there's a ~ 2" collar down in further towards the shaft/engine. See pic here. The order they appear, left to right, is how they came...

I just don't understand how the clutches work. I do a ton of small engine repair, automotive repair, etc. (No offense taken). I'm very handy - just have no idea how these clutches work, other than the primary squeezing in to grab to belt and the secondary opening up to allow greater speed(s).

If it helps make sense of the my immediate previous post: The red is the "setup collar" The green arrow points to the thin 1 & 3/4" diameter washer The yellow arrow points to the thick 3/4" washer I'll also not that the rollers are way at the top of those 3 gold helix fingers while the...

So, I am back at the 2ndary clutch/belt and it's still loose as a goose. Rear of sled completely off the ground. Spun track... belt sitting a good quarter inch below top of sheaves. There are no spacers between sheaves. When I had it on the bench they were like a couple of kisser fish...

Awesome possum. Thank you. I AM learnin something here!!!!!

I have the back up in the air and the track off the ground. But I think I’m a bit blind here on “best practices” and taking a lot longer fumbling around. Thanks all. I’ll be back at it tomorrow.

Went back out and tried to decrease the distance between the secondary sheaves, so make belt tighter. No luck. I am under the impression that if I tighten the black knob, it pushes the sheaves apart - and loosens the belt. So I am loosening the black knob, but the sheaves are not coming...

Thanks 72G. Agreed. Just not sure how the clutch should ultimately "sit" once adjusted properly - I assume there should be ZERO play in the clutch, in terms of it sliding in and out on the shaft. Right now, it moves about a 1/16" of an inch.

So, with secondary torque'd on to about 43lbs, I'm noticing that there is decent play of the clutch and the black knurled knob. I'm not really sure whether to screw it "in" or "out" to tighten the sheaves so that the belt sits higher. It's a bit low, but, hard to tell because it's not supple...

Okay. Got secondary back on sled. Installed the newer belt, that is about 1/8" wider than the one that was on there. It needs to soften up to loose it's shape from sitting in the "spare belt holder" but I figured it was the right one to go with. Anywho, actually before I put the secondary...

OH .....MY ......FLIPPIN' ....GAWD. Slap my #*$&@ and call me JUDY - the threads are IN BETWEEN the inner "donut" and the "outer ring", (Great art work Heir Steiner!!!!). I now see the light; (and the threads!!!!). Thank you all SO MUCH for stickin' in there with me on this. Going on now to...

Nitro, you must have eyes like an eagle ...and I must be deaf/dumb/blind (but given my ability for problem solving, this is likely true), but, I don't see a thread "under the outer portion that has the allen head bolt". see more pics. But, I'm gonna do as you say and mount that puppy up and...

Here's the video I just shot of the Super Torquer secondary and that knurled washer/disc:

You rock, Steve. Thanks so much for the offer. Again, please sit tight til I get this video uploaded. Hopefully this will be illuminating.

Thanks 72Gran. I'm about to upload a video that (Im pretty sure) shows that there aren't threads on the knurl disc. Hopefully this vid will help show what the heck I got goin on here ;-)

Hah!! Now I get it. Thanks Steve - and thanks so much for your offer. While I’d love to see you in my driveway with parts - I feel like I’m missing something ultra obvious. I have to drop off a snowblower but I’ll get my butt back in the driveway and keep forging ahead. I think if I take a...

Sorry if I’m stone cold dumb on this…. In that video, the knurled chrome knob is threaded onto another piece that I’m calling a tube/column

I must be misunderstanding something but whether there are threads there: it’s not threaded Onto anything. That black knurled knob is effectively just a big ol washer. See the other pics of the knob and bolt in my hand? The knob is not threaded onto any …tube or column (for lack of a better...

Oh, and one last question that I mentioned earlier about seeing a loose part, what I believe is called a "nut bearing" - #19 in the parts diagram. How tight does this need to be torqued too? I can probably snug it in pretty well with just pliers and the a little tap - tap - tap with a flat...
