1574, I'm gonna call BS on that info. Xtreme makes clutches better than OEM, period. I just pulled up all 3 configurations of a 2182 clutch and they all are mounted with the drive pulley near the engine. Why do you think your 2182 is so different than every other one built? Here is a pic of my 2182 with the same numbers on the clutch 5210-30. It is a 1992 built machine with a serial number 832820. What is the serial number for your machine?

I believe many others on here have "upgraded" to an Xtreme clutch on here for their 2182's with no issues.
21 horsepower that the WG600 Kubota puts out is pretty wimpy to the machines built today.
