1641 PTO Clutch Problems

[Gary Sands]

New to forum so please excuse if I post things in wrong places. Problem I'm having is with the PTO clutch. First one the back bearing fell apart and froze up the clutch. Each time I went to switch on I would blow the main fuse 20A. Found a used replacement on Ebay. Installed and seemed to fix problem for about 10 min and second bearing fell apart and ground to a halt> Looking for another replacement but find two different style's of clutch. Some bolt to the engine block ? Not sure which way to turn right now. See Picture. Thanks

The only issue I see is, you have the wrong PTO for a 1641. It's supposed to look like this one.

What are the numbers on this one?

Yes, That is my question as well. The one that was on there has been operational for at least the last ten years. Only problem I had with it was the Alt. Light would come on while using the PTO. I'm sure there is somewhere to view a diagram of how to mount the clutch to the engine. This is a B&S Vanguard 16 HP .
