I would contact the owner, as ot is their machine and mostbus us skid guys know our equipment and issues. This will relieve your stress level and maintain a good friend.
I would look for a similar engine or look for one that is bad and it won't t cost alot to switch parts out on it and have a spare for down the road.

Hello, currently looking at this to fix a 1530 B . Skidsteer clutch. With similar issues. Comparison from Jessica's and LPS. Is there a difference in the clutches since you put in the T40018? Thank you Thomas, Wisconsin
