Has anyone dealt with HR Clutch near Philadelphia PA ?

My '61 D100 needs a clutch. I'd thought about using some modern transmission but I just want to get it done ASAP.

I never have , I wonder if Phil or Dan have?

I don't know anyone else in philly.

I used falcon Clutch to Rebuild an old McLeod Clutch disk and Surface the McLeod Press. Plate. I asked them to use the same springs and frictions which they did what I wanted instead of selling me some off the shelf parts. That particular was a mix of parts from Sam Powell's old t-5 Install.
I have not used the parts yet, But service was good.. complete with a new york accent on the phone!

That 10 spline unit was used through the early 60's and is a tough match to get a replacement with...if someone offers the service they are doing
the hobby a real favor...FYI.

I guess that is a more oddball setup..

I also found this:

I think Dodge used a 10 spline 1-inch input shaft through 1968. Then, they used a 23-spline shaft and the input shaft length changed. The early NP435 clutches can be spendy.

Someone on the Sweptline forum recommended Valley Clutch in California

That's great Valley Clutch is still in business. I used them in 2001 when I was setting up the T5 swap on the 64 Dart. My friend Pete and I just walked up to the window on a sunny SoCal day and picked out all the clutch parts needed (PP for /6 crank, disc and TOB for T5). They let me open up boxes and measure things so I could see it would all fit. High quality stuff, at least at that time.

Vintage Power Wagons has clutch disk's available. I have just been doing some looking around to find out what is available. I believe they want $95 for an 11" 10 spline clutch, with something like a $ 50 core deposit. It may be an option if you do not want to wait on a rebuild, although I can't imagine a rebuild would take to much time.

Ive also read somewhere that some farm equipment used a 1 inch 10 spline disk. Have not explored that aspect yet, but will be looking in that direction just for the fun of it.

I recall HR clutch being suggested over on the Sweptline forum, when someone was looking for clutch parts. I have not yet had to deal with finding a new clutch for the present build.

Thanks for the reference to Vintage Power Wagons. I've been at their location before years ago. They used to have NOS parts.

I also have a NP435 from a D500 dump truck. Its got a larger diameter 10 spline shaft, I think its 1-3/8-inch diameter.

Yes I visited them 20+ years ago, and they had crates and crates of stuff, all NOS and or Military supply chain stuff.. I almost think the business has changed, or changed hands sense then. I prefer to buy my Dodge truck stuff locally If I can.

Keep us posted on what path you take, as I will be following your footsteps maybe by the end of the summer.

KY Clutch has the best price by quite a bit. But mine is 10-inch and I wanted 11-inch and I
don't have a 11 inch core. http://kyclutch.com/

A seller on Ebay has the 11-inch disk for $80 + shipping, its the P/P that's a bit spendy.

A local salvage yard has a 77 Dodge 11" PP listed for $25, is Car-Part an option To get something locally to send to KYClutch?

Would something like that work on an earlier flywheel?

Kentucky Clutch responded that they could build an 11-inch clutch for like $50 more.

I think car-parts.com would be a good source for used parts, but the old stuff can be hard to find.
