504 in 1175 clutch

[J-J]

How much horsepower will a stock clutch and pressure plate in a 1175 hold? I"m thinking some where around 300 to 350hp. Thanks for any help

There is room to double the number of springs to 24 already in the pressure plate. The desert sunset tractors here have double springs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSS7b0NIroE

correction. The 30 and 70 series are manual with double springs. 90 series is powershift.

I am guessing you want to tractor pull it? I would think that the stock clutch would hold 250 hp when fully engaged. The problem you will have is getting the sled started in 6th gear and up, without slipping the crap out of the clutch. We also used a 1470 pressure plate witch had about double the springs, still slipped in high gears. I think a guy needs a twin disc clutch!?

Yes you can double the springs in a stock clutch. We had that setup in an 1175 with 504. It was putting an easy 450+ out. Held ok in 6th gear it was when tried 7th that it wouldnt hold. Side stepping the pedal helps it to lock up. Double disc is the way to go when get that much power running the big gears. I think there is one being made now for case that you can use the stock input shaft and keep your hydrolics.

Thanks everyone for the help. I think I will try to double up the springs for now until I can make some more ponies.
