Subject: Deck Clutch Retainer Bracket Improvements

During normal operation, a wing deck belt may fail or jump out of the drive pulley. If this

occurs, the belt can become tangled in the Deck Clutch wires and/or the Clutch Torque

Rod (86-2590). This could result in enough damage that would require the replacement

of the Deck’s electric Clutch assembly, deck wire harness and Clutch Rod.

Improved Deck Clutch Retainer Brackets are now available that can replace the original

Torque Rod style. These brackets offer protection to the deck and clutch wiring in the

event of drive belt jump or failure.

The improved Brackets (left and right) come as a Wire Harness Shield Kit. This kit is

also included in replacement Wing Deck Belt Drive Clutch Kits as well.

For additional information on this subject or to order parts, contact your local authorized

Toro Commercial Products Distributor.
