Hello,

The clutch arm bearing on my BC1000XL (2007, 2100 hours) has gone out. This is the second time I have had to replace the clutch arm in 250 hours of run time. The last time it sheared off at the pivot point from metal fatigue. The conversion kit features two bearings instead of one and they are greasable. Does anyone have any experience with the conversion kit? I am just a one-man show and this is my only chipper, so is it smarter to do the conversion and pay an arm and a leg or put a used single bearing clutch arm on there? Does anyone have any used clutch arms for sale?

Thanks in advance.
