Wire that goes into the side of the clutch in the stump grinder, unfortunately it's a sealed unit

 

Crap design

 

New clutch is £600.00

 

Going to get in on the bench this afternoon and see if it can be bodged

Not sure yet, going to have a look at it properly when it's off the machine, the only problem I can see is that it won't be insulated if it touches the machine, blob of silicone might sort that out though

I'd make the hole bigger to get at the wire and reinforce the connection then put something back over the top, I hate "sealed for life" stuff. In the words of Douglas Adams The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair.

A bit of shrink tube will sort that :thumbup1:

Just had it on the bench

Drilled the hole in the casing out a bit wider, screwed a small screw into where the cable came out with a rubber washer under it wrapped end of cable round screw, covered it in silicone

 

Seems to work

 

Nothing like a good bodge
