John Deere

Can you adjust an electric clutch on a john Deere mower?

I have a john deere 160 and it seems to be slipping when I mowing can you adjust the clutch or could it be somthing else, maybe the belt slipping?

There are three slots around the circumference of the clutch. There are also three nuts from the bottom looking up. The gap measured in each of the three slots should be .012″. It is not likely the clutch. It will usually either engage or not. It is most likely a belt. Check the belt for wear. The belt will wear on the sides making it narrower and riding deeper in the pulley acting like it is longer than it should be. Belts are a lot cheaper than that electric clutch. Good luck.
