Warner 5209-46 PTO Clutch Question

[jzlatohlavek]

When I removed the PTO clutch on my 1862 to replace the seized bearing, I found that the potting material that encases the field windings is cracked and has pieces missing (see attached picture). It doesn't look like the coating on the windings has been damaged.
Should I clean it up and find a high temp epoxy to repair it with, use a high temp automotive RTV, or just clean it up and leave it alone?
Thanks.

I would remove the flaky potting, and replace with high temp epoxy, as long as the coil checks out electrically.
