Rewiring electric PTO clutches

[Justin Witt]

Hey guys, been doing some research on rewiring clutches and got mine halfway done (ish). Got some pics of what I'm doing. I take regular 16 gauge stranded wire and solder that to the enameled wire. Take some liquid tape and smear it on the back plate where the windings go. And wait for that to tack up, then start winding. I solder every joint and put on two layers of heat shrink. I can do other peoples too if you need your clutch rewound. Rates are a lot cheaper than buying the windings or the whole clutch. (coils can cost anywhere from 80 to 150 dollars) and whole clutches are 200+. I guarantee that they will work or your money back or rewind free of charge*.) Let me know if you would like yours rewound via EMAIL. I can give you the cost then too because different coils (size) will cost a different amount.

(sorry if I put this in the wrong section or am not allowed to do this here)

*up to six months, from date of when coil was shipped back to owner.
I can do a longer warranty (1 year) for a little bit more but after 6 months, it is only a free rewind and I can't do money back.

I know these rewound coils aren't "professional" but it will get the job done. I take pride in my work, so if there is any problems, please let me know right away. I don't skimp on anything. Especially other peoples items.

Thank you, and have a nice day!

You got yours halfway done, but not finished... Don't know if it will work, not tested anything ...... but now you are selling rewound clutches with a 6 month warranty? Justin, you are amazing.


Your first attempt was a fail... what makes you think it will work this time?

I'm not selling anything. In fact, I'll gladly do someones for free (minus shipping of course) just to prove myself. And why wouldn't it work. They are so simple, all you got to make sure is that it isn't grounding out anywhere and its good.

Next week my Flux Capacitor goes into production. I've never built one, but I saw Back To The Future, and it doesn't look so hard. I'll build them for free. Any takers?

Jeez Jon I'm 16 years old and I'm working on stuff that I like to do. Did people make fun of you when you started your repair shop???

Seriously.... all joking aside.

When I was a kid, I watched the movie Radio Flyer (That should show my age...) and I was convinced I could build a flying... anything. I tried making a glider, I tried building a plane.. (true story) but the damn things never did work. I just didn't understand.... they had wings.

Point is, if rewinding a clutch was as easy as wire and liquid tape, don't you think one of us experienced guys would already be doing it? Or hordes of people out there on ebay? It's not as simple as it looks man... I'm really not trying to be a jerk, but it's not gonna work bud.

Ya know there was a guy in the field of science that was told a million times it wasn't going to work. Who was that guy you might ask? ALBERT EINSTEIN. And for that matter so was Edison. It will work. Anything is possible.

You have no clue what you're doing. You haven't even finished high school. Probably haven't even had your first science class on electromagnetism. It's ok to experiment, but calling yourself a "mechanic" and giving advice on things you don't fully understand is wrong. I appreciate your passion, keep it up. Focus it on the positive, go to school, learn the theory thoroughly, do the science, work for 5 years in a shop, gain the experience and then you will be a mechanic. In the meanwhile, a wise man said that when you speak, you're only repeating things you already know. If you listen, you might learn something new.

I'm not trying to be mean to you. Hope you get to where you want to be one day, but it will take work and dedication, you can't just declare yourself a mechanic overnight.

PS: My brother is an electrical engineer, and I spent my childhood wiring transformers with him and soldering circuits together. You need to get enough wire and enough resistance in that coil so it doesn't just short circuit or overheat when you apply power. It is really tough to get the proper tension on that thick a wire by hand , and if you don't tension it enough and don't wind it carefully you won't get enough wire in. Good luck.

The difference is Edison didn't sell the light bulb before he built one, or perfected it, and Einstein's genius wasn't even understood fully until years later. I get your point... you don't want discouraged. But you should really focus your efforts in other areas. No need to reinvent the wheel here bud.

The other difference between you and those guys (or even me when I started my shop) is they (I) had a vast understanding of the areas we focused in. Your still learning the basics. Not that I don't still learn, because I do, but I also recognize what is reasonable (or even realistically possible). I also call guys I know who know more than I do about something in particular and ask for guidance and help... AND I LISTEN TO THEM. You just don't seem to want to take any advice at all.... no one can even attempt to help you understand because you just won't listen. I'm not saying don't expand your horizons, or try new things... dig deeper into something than you have before. I'm saying, before you even know what the heck your doing, or if it will work, don't try selling your abilities. I have yet to see a working "Justin Witt" rebuilt clutch.


^^^Well said j4c^^^
