After many a careful hours of slowly pulling epoxy/potting out of the second magnetic coil on the PTO I got it out, and found that ALL the epoxy that melted had sucked behind the coil and re-hardened there after the heat was gone. I was able to carefully 'grind' the excessive epoxy off and able to recess the coil back into the housing. Re-soldered the one wire from coil to ground back into place, and used 'Quick Steel' to anchor the coil back into place.
After using a few thin shims, I was able to get the clearance from the coil housing and clutch disk. And today...
I spent almost 6 hours on it going in circles! PITA to mow 2 acres when the grass comes up to the top of the front wheels in most places....
