How do I clean a PTO clutch?

You should clean your PTO clutch with compressed air as opposed to canned air, like the kind you use for your computer keyword, since it does not have enough force to properly remove debris. All service and repair facilities have an air compressor capable of blowing dust and debris from the PTO assembly.
