NEED A LITTLE HELP WITH THE ELECTRICMAGNETIC CLUTH ON THE ELEVATOR. CLEANED THE CONNECTIONS, REPLACED THE WIRE AND THE SWITCH BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND CLUTCH, WACKED IT WITH A HAMMER AND STILL NOTHING. IT WILL NOT ENGAGE.
I AM OUT OF IDEAS. IF ANYONE HAS ANY LET ME KNOW. THANKS BILL
My brother-in-law had the same problem and wound up replacing the clutch. He found a used one off the unload auger of a JD 6601 pull type combine. Maybe check with your JD parts people to see what other machines might have used the same clutch.
I've never seen one, but as its electrical, I would check it with an ohm meter.
The coil should read a low ohm value. Maybe no more than 10 ohms. If it is open it will read infinity (very high ohm value).
Can you post a pic of it?
Other things to check. If the wires on the outside are crimped/soldered to the coil, check both of those connections. Check for good lug connections. Grab them with pair of pilers and give them a good tug. Sometimes they look good, but are not.
Where are you located in NW,Pa? I have a brother in Meadville.
Perry
