I cleaned and replaced the bearings on mine before winter and wire wheeled it to get rid of the rust. If you have a good precision straight edge hold that over the 2 plates and see if they are badly worn out of true. the cleaner and flatter the 2 surfaces are the better magnetically attached to each other they will be and the less wear they will get from slippage when you engage the pto.

It was not worn through, it all didn't look terrible other than the rust from sitting so long. I'm going to clean everything good and reinstall it per the service manual procedure and see what happens
