If you replace parts 3 4 5 6 7 it would give you all new internals on the clutch. (Parts 4 and 7 are the same part number) Deere list price is less than 400. If you have a Deere dealer rebuild it for you it will have a 1 year warranty.

I replaced one several years ago, found the parts at Ferriday Farm which has closed and is now yet another Goldman dealership.

In all honesty if I had to do it over again I would eliminate the clutch completely and go strait shaft with a shear bolt between two plates.

Plate on gearbox shaft + plate on PTO shaft with a center bolt holding them together, then just blow a hole on the outside of both plates and put a shear bolt through the two.

JMHO but way cheaper and less hassle going forward than dealing with that clutch basket.

Yeah but so do seized clutch packs.

I rarely use it except when I dont want to tear up a newer one, you can wack down some pretty good sized shite with a 709 without damaging it, only issue is when clutch does not slip and you twist a PTO shaft, the gear boxes are indestructible.

that gets expensive

It's actually cheaper than what I said last night now that I can see it on a computer instead of ipad.Looks like 251.94 Deere list and it is all available.

Obscure DEERE Online Parts Catalog

This is the online catalog I search part no's for.

I think a few of the older Ferriday Farm parts guys still work at Goldman at Stacy. Might call them if you still find yourself in a bind.

they used to have a grouchy old fart who I have forgotten his name could spit out every part# in the catalog, he was the rainman of JD parts

ETA: Believe it was Mr. Decker
