If you can’t find a clutch for that old car, truck or tractor, check with Kentucky Clutch. Owner Chris Harmon stocks hundreds of vintage clutches. If he doesn’t have the clutch you need, he’ll rebuild yours.
    “We have the parts,” says Harmon. “Just send us your clutch and we’ll rebuild it.”
    Kentucky Clutch has been around for more than 30 years, long enough that some of today’s vintage clutches were simply older at the time.
    “We had parts from the 1950’s and 1960’s that 20 years ago we thought we would never sell,” says Harmon. “For some reason we held on to them, and now we’re getting tons of business for them.”
    Harmon thinks some of the increased interest from owners of the old vehicles is simply that the OEM’s have stopped carrying the parts. Whatever the reason, Harmon is ready to meet vintage vehicle owners’ needs. When the original owner retired, Harmon, an 18-year employee, and his wife Natosha took over. However, he isn’t the only one with clutch experience.
    “We have 6 clutch rebuilders with more than 15 years experience,” says Harmon. “If you need a clutch, even if you don’t know the manufacturer, give us a call.”
    In addition to vintage cars, Harmon carries clutches for nearly 90 different models of tractors and specialized equipment. The list includes classics like CO-OP and Oliver, as well as Challenger and Yanmar. It also includes skid steer makes and specialty equipment like Tree Farmer, Timberjack and even the Romanian built UTB Universal.
    “We carry clutch kits for almost every make, model and application,” says Harmon. “We can rebuild your existing unit or replace it with a new or refurbished clutch kit from our stock.”
    In the rare case that he doesn’t have a replacement clutch kit, he says his staff can rebuild a core within 24 hrs. The one key to doing business with Kentucky Clutch is to send the old core back when receiving a clutch kit.
    “Never dispose of or scrap your vintage clutch,” says Harmon. “They don’t make this stuff anymore.”
