Engine problem

[fmier]

Thank you for your help, I started to take it apart because I was not sure if the engine needed to come out or if is possible to do it in place. after deciding to take the engine out, I was triying to takeout what I think is the clutch that is on the bottom of the shaft. I took a bracket that holds the clutch from turning. After removing it, now I can turn the engine with no problem.
Could this part be the problem?

Found the problem, the electric PTO clutch bearing is very bad, don't know if is better to replace bearing or get a new clutch.

Thank you, after looking at it I see that is best to just replaced it.
