Hello all. I'm in the process of rebuilding the engine in the 1650 I bought last August. I'm stripping everything off the block so I can take it and get it machined. In the process of pulling the electric PTO off, I found it in the condition in the picture below.

This is the first time I'm tearing into an electric PTO. I believe this is the potting compound around the coils breaking down. Is this correct?

I can't really tell you much about the condition of the clutch in operation because the engine wasn't healthy enough to turn the 50" mower deck for very long.

I read there's an Ogura clutch (silver) in color, and a Warner clutch (black). All I see is rusty brown and faded black, so I'm still not sure what I have here. It's probably obvious, but I'm blind to it at the moment.

At this point, I'm researching my options. I found what a new clutch from Cub Cadet costs. I found one from Xtreme Outdoor Power Products. I also found a thread on here where someone had sent their field out for rebuild and repotting, but didn't find any contact info. Does anyone know who I can contact?

Thanks for your time!
