Anyone have a source for these? Betty Lou had a new clutch from PO, and the fingers are CHEAP steel. One broke at the pivot pin which I welded up, and now another one has broken at the pivot pin. The clutch ( in terms of clutches) is practically brand new. Can I buy these parts from IH or somewhere that isn't selling JUNK? Not a fan of splitting...

buy a used one, from one of our used parts people, or E-bay. Throw the other one, back to China, where it belongs.

Messick's shows the fingers (lever) as available for $10.78@ with bolt and nut, but not in stock. If you replace those, what are the chances that something else will break later?

My father in law had a guy replace the clutch & pressure plate on his Cub last winter and the fingers have collapsed, he can't make the clutch release when he mashes the pedal. I'm thinking he needs to replace the fingers too.

Your best bet is to purchase a used or rebuilt US manufactured plate.

check the throw out bearing, if the fingers are not adjusted correctly or if it was an aftermarket TO that was not pre-lubricated, the graphite may be worn off.

I'll tell him. He did know to request a graphite bearing. Whether the guy lubed it is another story....
