I can't believe my BD2F/BS3F manual doesn't show a spec for the steering clutch packs. Anybody have the measurements? I know the G model is : Metal Disc...2.8mm thick ( down to 2.3 worn) Fibres.........8.7mm ( 6.0 ) PACK..........69mm ( 66 ) The G series steering is a more modern set up,with some of the same & some different parts as the F ...so I'm unsure if pack thickness is the same for both. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Steering Clutches BD2F That first post did not come out quite like it looked when typing it out. Tried to attach a copy from manual, but I quess I need a couple more post before I can do that. The information is the same that you have for the G model.
Hi Greg, Thanks for the info.It's nice to confirm those specs before putting it all back together. If you don't mind,could you scan that page for me & send it to : [email protected] Are you running an F series machine? Is it going OK for you? They are great small crawlers. Jim
Yes Jim I'm running a 84 BD2F. It down right now going thru the main clutch. Greg
Hi Greg, Thanks for the scan. Good luck with the clutch.I have both steering units out & will refit them this week. Jim
