nebraska | PTO clutches have always been a problem on the jx series. There is no return spring to pull the throw out bearing off of the clutch fingers when not in use. The bearing chatters against the clutch fingers wearing them down and throwing the clutch adjustment off. Then they start slipping and burn themselves out quickly. Been in the same situation several times. Less than 500 hrs and the tractors have been appart more than once. We started putting aftermarket springs on the clutch arms to pull the throw out bearing back when not in use and had very little troubles after that. Get familiar with the trans and pto clutch adjustment and you will do fine. Biggest thing to remember is not to let it start slipping or they burn out quick. They are a low cost tractor, but that just means corners were cut somewhere to keep the cost down. If you can be patient with them and keep everything maintained, you will get by fine. | |

Any cons with Case IH JX series tractors?
