i wouldnt put that in without an 1 3/8ths input shaft i had that clutch and it scared me i though i was going to break something when you lock that up it locks hard i mean it feels like a DD also any single disk wont handle any amount of abuse i tell everyone now thats looking for a new clutch to just go ahead andd get a double disk with a big shaft and hydros and be done with it

I agree totally, better off to do it right the first time rather than having to do it all over again incase you decide to add some more power. I would suggest a southbend 3250 or 3600 double disc
