I have a John Deere 1070 with a slip in the clutch. The dealer says I need to replace the clutch, and gave me a high priced quote. I was hoping there might be something I could try to fix it myself, or how big of a job it would be to replace it myself. I am mechanically inclined and found out I can buy the parts for a quarter of what they want to do it for.

John Deere History

It is a 116 John Deere Riding Lawn Mower, it runs great but whenever i try to engage the PTO the blades won't spin. On rare occasions it will spin but if i try to mow grass the blades stop turning, the repairman told me that it was most likely the PTO Clutch. So like i said how hard is it to replace?
I am pretty sure, the belts are all there and i don't see any missing springs.
