Neither bearing feels rough. Possibly bearing getting hot and tighter. After turning pto off, locked too tight to start back until it cools off. Sam, My tractor is 22 hp but I am not sure that is the correct pto from extreme. Thanks for all the help. Will post my electric findinggs tomorrow. Have a great evening.

just to clear things up, --- air gap .015----------
.0015 is too tight.I'm thinking you just made a typo.
When power is applied, the coil pulls on the clutch plate, it also moves it away from the brake stamping, allowing rotation.
With the proper air gap set, it should work as designed.
