My 7305 now has 2200 hrs on it now. This summer I had to split it again and put an new charge pump in for the hydro. The woodruff key sheared off and the pump impeller broke. I inspected the over running clutch through the hyd oil fill hole to see if I should change the over running clutch too as the pump is further forward and I would have to split in two places. It looked OK for now. I do use this tractor very hard. The pump was $625. with all the other parts I needed and hyd oil it came to over $800 to do the job myself. I had the notion to pull the rock shaft cover to see if you could service the clutch from there. It is right in front of it. Anybody had the rock shaft cover off? The service manual is very vague as far as servicing this part. The engine clutch is much further forward so servicing that at the same time means splitting the bell housing from the engine. I guess if you have it apart that far and want to service the clutch, it would make sense. The clutch is only used for engaging the 540 and 2000 rpm pto so I think it should last a long time. The over running clutch is a weak part of this tractor. Any pto implement that transmits a lot of shock to the drive system will take it out. Yanmar makes Cub Cadet now. Mitsubishi made the ones we are talking about. Anybody know how the Yanmars are holding up? Good luck!
