Wet clutch stopped working after sitting a bit, so I thought it was stuck. Tear it down, and this is what I find. Any way to fix this without tearing it out? Grade 8 bolt/nut and peen the threads? I re-engaged the clutch, and it's lined back up now. |

How many are missing? I broke one on my 45d and ended up replacing it with a grade 5 bolt shank, local blacksmith put it in his lath and made look completely original. Agco does have them as of a year ago but they was like $75-$80 bucks per pin.  Hope this helps…. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

As far as I can see, only the one is missing. How did you end up locking it in? I can see a nut working, but riveting doesn't look possible due to space.

I used the original style snap ring Agco part 70223395 I was thinking there was a longer and a shorter pin but agco parts book shows the same number which is 70223159 Any blacksmith should be able to lath a snap ring grove in grade 5 material and that’s why I decided to use grade 5, they are originally grade 8 and maybe harder but I haven’t had a problem yet with mine… ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

| You'd better finding the missing pin before it rolls thru all the PTO gears and destroys them. |

| If you're lucky the pin has made it to the bottom of the PTO box. If you're wise you'll not engage the PTO before pulling it off. |

| I was thinking along the same lines, so today I went magnet fishing. Found something I've never seen before. The clip didn't break, it wore OUT and was still on the pin! I think agco wants about 40 or 50 bucks for that clip....NOT WORTH IT LOL |
