[Rovernet] 2000TC Flywheel - Clutch burned out

[pierre janusz]

 Dear Robert,
As it is a series 2 I would have expected that it should have a pre-engaged starter motor which does not need bevelling on the teeth on the ring gear. This might suggest that the flywheel has been changed previously and the earlier type used.

Hi All:
 
  
 
Clutch on 71 Series II Federal 2000TC P6 is burned up.   Mechanic says that the clearance on the pressure plate is too big, but is not sure which part is responsible.
 
  
 
Problem might also be that the flywheel was turned too much during an earlier repair.   Can source a new one at Win’s, but we need one where the beveled teeth on the ring gear are facing the engine.  Win’s is facing the other way.
 
  
 
Anyone have the right flywheel or any advice?
 
  
 
Bob
