John Deere Je75 Manual
I started my mower today, and, as usual, the motor started on the first pull and hummed. When I went to engage the blade, however, there was a pop and a few pieces flew out of the side. I stopped the mower and took a look at the business end.
As you can see from the pics, it seems that a piece on the blade brake clutch shattered. I guess it is some kind of gasket or clutch piece.
While I am no pro, I believe I can fix this myself w/ the correct part. Could any of you help a lowly homeowner out? Particularly, what the part below is called and how to remove the bbc?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. All right here is what I can tell you. From the pictures I can't figure out if your problem is a whole lot worse than you think or if it's just wear and tear or what's going on. To be blunt it looks like a part of the deck itself got tore up and that the problem may not be one worth fixing, but I just can't say for sure from just that picture thou it sure don't look good.
So I got on Google, and ended up at deere.com (go figure lol) from where I went to Residential and then some Owner's or Parts manuals section where it asked me for a model number (jx75) and I got this pull-down list where my problem begins. I am currently here: And I expanded the link that says 'Pictorial Index' Which expands to '1 - JX75 and JE75 21-Inch Walk-Behind Mowers' And that, when clicked on, gives me these choices: 20 - A01 - A15 - ENGINE (FC150V) 21 - A01 - B17 - ENGINE (FJ180V) 30 - A01 - C12 - JE75 AND JX75 WALK BEHIND MOWER (SN -X200000) 31 - A01 - D9 - JX75 WALK BEHIND MOWER (SN X200001-, E010001- ) And that's where I am stuck, because I need to know some more information about that mower of yours, such as the engine type or model and also the serial number of your mower. Once we have that I believe we can proceed, or perhaps someone else knows right away the answer. Well dawg pen that appears to be the friction plate from the upper half of your BBC. I dont think you will be able to replace just that part. I believe you are going to need a total replacement as Deere may have superseded its serviceable units to a complete unit replacement? But Im not sure of this.
Depending on the age of the mower and the damage to the BBC and the deck, you may be looking at $$$. The unit is around $189.00 If it does come down to just the BBC, you will have to remove the engine to remove the complete BBC clutch.

Removing the blade and spacer will not be so bad. The clutch bolt (hex or torx in the center) will be a different story. Ive had to heat some of these jokers up to get them off in the past. However, you may get lucky. Its best to drain the fuel tank, carburetor and oil so the process will be less messy for you.
Tip the mower on its side and go to town. The process is pretty intuitive, so just follow the reverse when reinstalling. The only real aggravation you might encounter will be the BBC spring. Theres a little trick to removing and installing, but not terrible. Remember to use proper torque specs. Engine bolts: 18 lbs.-ft.
Blade and BBC bolts: 55 lbs.-ft. Keep us posted; Good luck. Yep, you need a new clutch. I just had mine off this summer to replace the belt. (I have an older SB-14).
Mine had a new clutch when I bought it used about 6 or 8 years back. I'm sure it's about on it's last legs by now. Just thinking, I say I had mine off, but I think it was only half that came off, of course the lower half. I didnt need to remove the clutch completely from the actual engine shaft to replace the belt. (you may want to replace the belt while you are there) For the BBC spring, the large rusty looking one, you will either need a large 'channel lock' type pliers or one of the slip joint oil filter wrench pliers. When you unbolt that bracket (2 small bolts) remove the one closest to the spring first and then use the pliers to hold it between the end of the bracket and anything you can get hold of under the deck. Slowly remove the tension, loosten the rear bolt, no need to remove it totally.

When replacing, just reverse the process and use the rear bolt as a 'hinge' and the pliers to get the front bolt alinged with the hole. Go ahead (if you havent already) and remove the lower half. Looking at the pictures again, that does appear to be part of the lower halfs friction pad, and not the upper plate. Inspect both halves for wear, damaged bearings (both sealed and ball), as well as its mating surfaces.

The lower half will have to be replaced for sure, but make sure the upper is ok as well. Again, depending on its age, complete replacement may be a better solution or it may be your only solution depending on what Deere is doing now. The last BBC I replaced (approximately 45 days ago) was complete unit option only. Id have to be at work to confirm this? However that may not be a bad thing, so you dont have any surprises in the summer time when youre working her out. By the way, looking at Waynes photo, and Jasons comment about removing the BBC spring, the only difference is I remove the rear bolt and loosen the front bolt (closer to spring) and allow that to be a pivot point. Either way will work fine.
The obvious curve or hook makes a good place to put a pry bar in to align the hole when you have spring tension.
