Mf 185

Hi, this is the third time in a year our 185 has broke the double clutch. Drive shafts are running true. And it isnt doing a big pile of pto work. Can anyone shed any light. Pic attached

Stupid question but, are you putting the clutch plate in the right way round?

And when you not a big pile? Looks like shock loading from whatever your driving or the clutch engaged to harshly.

You say the shafts are running true but
is the flywheel running true?

End float on the crank ?

I would say either plate in wrong way round and that is most probably it, or shock loading on the pto,

the rivert heads look shinny, are they fouling on something?

Pattern parts or genuine? Have had spurious parts that look like they wouldn't handle 10hp let alone 70. As for orientation not often it works correctly the wrong way round, also they are usually marked so I can't imagine second time round you've got it wrong again?

Just for clarification the side pointing towards us should face towards the flywheel.
