Default Clutch plates pitted deep - clean, turn, or replace

hi all, well now I started getting into the clutch and the steel disks are deeply pitted from corrosion. I turned the front plate on my lathe a few passes just to see, and it is very deep. I really wouldnt want to go that thin. I could turn new ones but are these made out of special hard or stiff steel?

Thanks!

It looks like you're holding that plate in a 3 jaw chuck?

When you turn your clutch plates they need to be piloted by the center driveshaft hole.

Do I need to replace? Can I turn on from mild steel or is this harder steel as I suspect? In that case what if I go thicker like 3/8 steel plate?

It would definately be too thin if I turn it flat, those pits are deep into it.

Thanks!

In my humble opinion, I would replace it.

Based on having turned a couple sets myself, I don't believe they are hardened in any way. 4140 or similar would be fine. You might be able to buy a good used set for reasonable cost and save the time of making them.

How are you holding the clutch plate in the chuck?
I chuck up on the smaller diameter. I usually measure the thickness of the area I'm turning ( before and after). I won't reuse a clutch plate if I take off more than .040.
One of our sponsors should have a replacement clutch plates if yours are beyond reusing.
Midwest Super Cub sells a nice set of replacement clutch plates.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
