 Topic: XT 190 FOOT CLUTCH
Posted: 15 Feb 2018 at 6:21pm |
Just received a verbal "guestimate" to replace the DRY clutch in our said machine. I believe this includes flywheel surfacing AND rear main replacement; $1400. The gentleman is currently employed at a AGCO dealer but is "soon" to be on his own. He has mechanical certification from AGCO so I have NO issue with his knowledge. Fair price??

If that includes labor and parts, it sounds pretty good to me. He got a guesstiment from a tractor dealer and if I remember correctly it was around two thousand. I told him to check with Rick at Jonesburg, Mo and he and I put it in and saved him several hundred dollars. It was a real early model IHC 706 that he bales big bales with. I only had to adjust it one time in the middle of the season and he bales a bunch of bales.

Sorry, wasn't very clear in my post. I did the clutch for a neighbor. Leon

Cab?
Not that is should impact time all that much, but it still does.
I don't have the flat rate book handy, but I am thinking in a well equipped shop, in the neighborhood of 8-12 hours, not including the running parts out to be machined.
So taking the machining costs, and the parts costs out, I would say his labor rate is reasonable.
Fare better than at the dealership he works for.
Just my $0.02 worth, flame away!

Sorry,no cab. Will drive to his "new" shop 4 miles away. Not knocking the "guesstimate" at all, LOL! We hadn't had a "clutch job" since the 180 6 years ago and if memory serves,$850?? Granted,different machine, 6 years ago, LOL! THANKS!

My brother and I both installed new 6 puck clutches from Rick. More contact than the stock 4 puck. Cannot feel any difference in pedal pressure. I had my flywheel resurfaced for $75. New clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, rear seal. I have less than $350 total in it counting the resurfacing. Did the work myself. With the proper tools and an extra hand at times, it’s not that hard of a job. But, I am not sure of shop labor these days. Guessing $100/hr so I guess he is in line.

I can still save you money on the clutch unit itself though. Pressure plate, clutch disc with 6 pads, throw out bearing and pilot bearing, plus the shipping. Let me know, if interested...Rick

Sorry Rick, I failed to mention the pilot bearing. Thanks again for the help on dad’s 6060 clutch also.
