Got a slip clutch on a trencher I've got to work on. Initial thoughts were to just reface the plates as they are badly grooved/glazed. The clutch is slipping even tightening it up way past the mfg's specs. Looking at it closer, it looks like a shop made the parts and they are not factory. The center, main driving disk is made out of stainless steel. Is stainless a good material to use in this application? I was thinking it would have a tendency to gall/glaze over quickly? I'm not finding much info on the internet as to what the best material for clutch plates are. Thoughts?
