Electric clutch pto. wire pulled out of assymbly. I found the right replacement part . Do you need a puller to replace? Or does it just slide on and off?

A puller on the flwheel after you remove the retaining nut tighten the puller and a table on the pller should loosen the flywheel .

Go to searspartsdirect.com type in 247.289800 then select model. Go to battery and pto. Remove belt from clutch. Disconnect no. 11 electrical, remove rod no. 18 and bolt no. 10. Hopefully it will slide off with no problems but probably not, you will need large bearing puller to remove.

you will have to use large pulley puller to get off it should slide off no problem

you will have to have aclutch puller to get it off take it in to shop

I'm assuming you're referring to the PTO clutch on the bottom of the engine shaft. There's a 5/8" bolt that goes up through the clutch into the shaft. Remove it, but then turn it back in about 10 turns and use a wheel puller to start getting it off. You might have to c-clamp the PTO/clutch top and bottom together to get both pieces off. Once the assembly starts coming down the shaft, you can probably remove the wheel puller, remove the bolt completely, and pull the PTO/Clutch off by hand. Be sure to unplug the PTO/clutch before removing it. Also, many of these have a spacing washer on top of the PTO/Clutch that comes off in the process. BE SURE to put it back on before replacing the PTO/Clutch. DO NOT hit anything with a hammer to try to break it loose - you'll most likely NOT get the part off and most probably WILL damage necessary parts.

it should just slide off after removing the center bolt

check the wires they rub on sharp edges

I've had the same problem. Intermittent shut-off of the pto. Found out that the pto (electric clutch) draws heavily on the battery current to stay engaged.Clutch is actually an electro-magnet. I bought a new battery (300 cca) the bigger the better and clutch now works fine. Old battery was still strong enough to start engine but not strong enough to engage pto. Old battery was 4 yrs old. A good clutch will click if jumper wires from the battery to clutch wiring harness are connected (with out motor running.)

Hello Friend, Your solution is very simple. You need to replace the clutch assymbly. It's easy to replace the clutch assymbly on your machine. First, pop the cover off the top of your agitator and remove the bolt that holds it in place. Gently pull the agitator up and out of the machine. Now, remove the two screws that hold control panel in place and tilt back exposing the two metal clips that hold the cabinet in place. You will see some wires plugged into the cabinet, just unplug them. There are two clips, one on each side. Just pop these clips off and lift cabinet slightly from back and tilt forward. At this point you will be able to completely remove the cabinet. Once you have cabinet removed just set it aside. Now, just lay the washer on it's back. At this point you will see the water pump, motor, and transmission. Remove the pump by snapping off the two spring clips. The pump will slide right off the motor shaft. Now, remove the two screws that hold the two spring clips attached to motor. Unplug all the wires etc. and then snap the metal clips off motor. Lift motor straight up, it should slide right off. Now you will see three bolts holding the transmission in place, just remove these three bolts. Now, gently pull the transmission out of the washer and sit it in an upright possition. At this point you will see the clutch assymbly on the top of the transmission with the agitator shaft going through it. There is a spring clip holding the clutch in place be sure to wear eye protection. Just pop this spring out and remove the entire clutch and replace with new clutch assymbly. Re-assymble the washer and the problem you are encountering should be solved. Happy to help, Tim.
