clutch hub
Hi what are the most important differences of the clutch hub with 5 stud vs 3 stud?
On the advice of friends I had changed my clutch hub from 3 stud to 5 stud over 10 years ago, as soon as I bought the shovel, so I've always had the 5 stud.
I broke a stud, I would like to change it.
Who can explain me how to do it?
Or do I put the clutch hub back together with 3 studs?

No Measurable difference... the 5 stud Looks Cool exposed!! I feel that the 3 stud may actually be Superior in operation..
Yes...I have Both!!
One more Solution to a Pre-conceived Problem... that does Not exist!!

the studs are easy to simply knockor press put & a new one pushed in and Peened over or hit wiha TIG welder,
That stops them coming lose but make it harder to change in the future,I run a 10 stud Hub and found it wasier to set an even lift & a lot less unwanted drag with them

The difference is...I believe... That the Pressure Plate actually releases more Evenly with the 3 stud, and even Better with the Aluminum pressure plate... Only the Aluminum Plate with Steel insert Threads... due diligence...
Oh...and the Ram Jett retainer???? One Upgrade that actually Works... almost a necessity with a Belt drive!!!
