Argo clutch question....
Msafi65:
A lot of the early magnums were threaded crank. Never saw a conquest with threaded crank.
nubs:
Screwed on, so the outside end of the crank is threaded..?
SARgo1:
Well, that was fun....not.
Tried removing the primary. Center bolt wouldnt budge.
After taking most of the engine bay apart to get to the clutch, i discovered the bolt still wouldn't budge.
Great. Im thinking theres r d locktight in there or its all seized up and i'm buggered.
Then I noticed at some point in this frustration that i could turn the engine flywheel and the clutch would atwy stationary.
Wtf?
Yeah, come to find out Kohler primarys are screwed on to the crank, not keyed.
Argh!
At least now its off and it came apart easy peasy once on the bench.
All the other bits i have off as a result of chasing my tail on the primary also lets me fix a few other annoyances in the engine bay so that's at least a positive side to all this...

I wholeheartedly agree with your logic.
Economics, however, dictates a recondition vice replace.
Belt looks to be in great shape, likely a recent replacement.
