[Dshurak]

Got my John Deere 60V back together, ran it for 10/15 minutes last night without bar and chain. I put bar and chain on today and clutch wasn't engaging at all, I Made sure that it was clean no oil before I reinstalled it Any ideas? I Will pull it back off and inspect everything.. thanks for any help!

where in wv are you i was looking at the pic and trying to figuire what plant that was

 

[Dshurak]

I live in Wetzel Co, Paden City to be exact. The picture was taken at a gas possessing plant in Mobley...

 

[dall]

i havent been to a gas plant yet and we need pics of your clutch im a boilermaker

 

[zogger]

Is that rim drive or spur? If rim, maybe you just missed mounting the chain and it got dropped down to the side of the rim. You won't get much chain action then...don't ask me how I know this

 

[Dshurak]

It's rim drive, I Made sure I put the chain on but I hope you are right. Would love for it to be something simple...
