[AT] 560 clutch

[Cecil Bearden]

years ago in the tractor shop I worked in we had a massey ferguson with a 
loader.  The clutch disk would hang on the worn part of the splines and 
would not nmove if it had some torque on it.  We installed a new shaft with 
the new disk, and then I caoted the shaft with Never seize.  I still use 
never seize on the shafts..  Sure makes them work great....
