most i have seen the clutches were out and you dont know when the bearing gave up---but i have pulled a couple junkyard nv4500,s and dont know how many miles were on it and they also had bad pilot bearings----made me wonder if the solid brass ones are better----you would think a person in a cummins shop would have a good idea of how long those little pilot bearings last.....
The pilot bearing in my gasser rig with an NV4500 broke down and the needle bearings got swedged so bad to the input shaft that the clutch would not disengage. It was all rusty and dry as if it was never greased when new!
