Hello
I have a problem with the mower as in the topic. It's about a damaged knife clutch. While mowing, the engine suddenly stopped, it could not even be turned off.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the clutch was to blame. Metal balls and fragments of bent metal plates with joints fell out of it.
A plate, which is attached to the mower's body, runs through the center of the clutch.
Most likely, something has bent and the clutch is rubbing against this sheet.
After removing the cutter and forcibly turning the motor shaft, the resistance on the shaft decreased significantly, but after approx. 3 turns, the resistance increased again.
Here are some pictures of the clutch (not my authorship, the clutch on my mower looks the same):

Is such a clutch available somewhere, or if not, can it somehow be locked permanently?
Greetings,
Charles
