They don't last forever. I replaced my unit's clutch with one from a Western Star heavy duty truck. I was sticker shocked at the pricing I got from a distributor in Canada at over $600.00.
After a little leg work with the local Auto shops who weren't able to cross reference the part #''s , I sourced one for a little over $200.00cdn. Bolted right in and runs like a champ.

I didn't buy that one off Amazon because when i bought the install kit for frankinstien it came with a clutch. But i saved that one in my Amazon lists with the intention of buying it, i thought i had a box with a part#on it for the one's that i have bought from napa but i didn't have it ill look thru my records at home i have the napa part# somewhere, i put it wher i wouldn't loose it according to the people that made the clutch, that label has nothing to do with the model# it a code to let them know who when and where it was manufactured, i researched it out and contacted them several years ago about that,at the time i too thought it was a model# and couldn't for the life of me cross reference it. Ill let you know the part# tonight

So I found a wire that wasn’t connected and compared to my other CDs and sure enough it went to the clutch
I found just enough to clamp onto and repair
The serpentine belt broke and caused all this!

That'll do it, keep those #s cause sooner or later you will need a clutch, and you won't have any problems gittin one glad it was an easy fix

If i may make a suggestion, replace your Serpentine belt with a gates fleet runner heavy duty green belt they're more expensive but they're a shit load stronger ,transfer more power and last alot longer they're the only belts i use

Im a steam geni guy so to say yes yes for sure would really be a guess but from all the hydramaster's ive seen i would say it's probably the right one ,i know it fits this guy's i know it fits butlers,steamgenis and Cleanco's, their's not alot of choices for a clutch for this application, if the shaft configuration is correct, clutch diameter is correct and your clutch uses a 6 grove Serpentine belt, i would say yes,yes, for sure,

P.S.when you change your clutch change your belt too, i only recommend gates fleet runner green belts . It'll cost you twice as much as a regular belt but is 10× BETTER, the belt is your tools engine and your only as good as your tool
