I bought the 32.00 tool from custom chainsaw parts that was supposed to fit my saw, I wasn't real happy with the loose fit of the pins or the fact is made out of aluminum, but once I tapped it in a little it did hold. Unfortunately using a large 3/4" craftsman open end did not work and only managed to torque the nut surface into an oblong shape. I grabbed my 1" open end and used it on the rectangular surface and while the wife helped hold the saw the clutch drum finally broke loose. How do I tell if the clutch shoes are good?  20171216_150756 by Al Michaels, on Flickr  20171216_150718 by Al Michaels, on Flickr  20171216_150357 by Al Michaels, on Flickr  20171216_150304 by Al Michaels, on Flickr |

I didn't realize the build quality on his aftermarket tools was so sh!tty! Aluminum is easier to work with for sure, but there's a reason the factory tools were machined steel!
It's hard to tell for certain, but in your first pic it looks like you still have a reasonably tight fit. In general you want around 1/16" of an inch of clearance between the shoes and the drum when it's mounted to the saw. When you reach 1/18" you've got serious wear and likely terrible performance (slipping). An important consideration is the availability of parts though.
If your saw has the original clutch, 55076-1, 55076-1A, 55076-3, 69754-1A, 69754-1B or 69754-1C shoes will fit. The big to check is that it isn't the 7/8" wide clutch, as those shoes are harder/more expensive to come by. I've plenty of new 79754-1C shoes in stock if you have to go that route (and they fit your carrier!).

I would have used a 6pt socket on that. You didn’t post any pics of the shoe surface, but from what I can see shoes look good.

I'm not sure it wouldn't have twisted the tool like a paper towel tube. The pressure I used with one hand holding the saw and one hand on the 3/4"open end wrench was not that much. It would seem a socket might twist more with the extra torque. The base provided a solid turning point. |

I believe the 7/8 clutch only came on the Super 2100, and you have to have the special clutch cover for clearance.

The 2000 and 2000E IPL doesn't show a 7/8" shoe or clutch and after I measured it became apparent I didn't have it. I was wondering why there were so many part numbers for the shoes? Everything except the sprocket looks good on this. I did make an offer from dozer dude on a hub and drum and he excepted. I love the 24" roller nose and don't want to go to the expenses of buying a new sprocket, bar and chain even though these chains are expensive and hard to come by I don't think I will be using it enough to worry about that. BTW, it was 78 degrees here today and over 60 for the last several weeks. We get less than 10 day a year that are below 32 for a high. |
