Little Beaver CCO-8# 8 HP 1-Inch Bore Centrifugal Clutch Change-Over Kit with Fiber Shoes and Drum

The Little Beaver CCO-8# Change-Over Kit is an industrial mechanical replacement assembly designed to restore centrifugal engagement on 8 HP mechanical earth drill power units. Featuring a 1-inch shaft bore engine clutch paired with heavy-duty fiber shoes and a precision-machined clutch drum, this power drive service kit replaces worn drive components to maintain rotational torque transfer to auger extensions without slippage under heavy soil resistance.

Best Used For:

  • Mechanical Earth Drill Service & Repair: Replacing worn-out centrifugal drive components on 8 HP Little Beaver ground drilling engines.
  • Fence Post & Foundation Hole Digging: Eliminating drive belt or clutch slippage when boring deep post holes through dense clay and rocky soils.
  • Soil Sampling & Landscaping Maintenance: Restoring instant throttle-response engagement during continuous commercial auger operation.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • 1-Inch Engine Bore Fitment: Precision-machined 1-inch inside diameter bore mounts directly onto standard 8 HP engine drive shafts.
  • Friction-Resistant Fiber Shoes: High-density composite fiber shoe linings provide positive centrifugal lockup while reducing thermal wear.
  • Balanced Clutch Drum Assembly: Cast steel outer drum housing engineered to absorb engagement friction and distribute rotational torque evenly.
  • Direct OEM Replacement Fit: Specifically engineered to match factory mounting geometry on Little Beaver 8 HP mechanical earth drills.
  • Heavy-Duty Engagement Springs: Calibrated spring tension keeps shoes disengaged at engine idle speed to ensure safe operator handling.
  • Thermal Heat Dissipation: Vented drum design assists in shedding friction heat generated during heavy soil boring passes.

What's Included

  • (1) 8 HP Centrifugal Clutch Assembly with 1-Inch Bore
  • (1) Set of Heavy-Duty Composite Fiber Clutch Shoes
  • (1) Steel Clutch Outer Drum Housing
  • (1) Internal Retention Spring Kit
