When it comes to electric clutches hours don't seem to matter. One will go over 1000 hours and the next less than 50. It seems the first symptom a lot of time when the clutch is going bad is it takes out the pto switch, but not bad enough to blow the fuse.
Had a grasshopper this year that killed the pto switch but never blew the 10 amp fuse. Clutch tested 1.6 ohms which is around 7.5 amp draw. DR with the shorted clutch had a 20 amp fuse connected between the 20 amp voltage regulator and the battery. The only way that fuse was going to blow was if the regulator shorted to ground. The constant 20 amp output of the regulator due to the shorted clutch actually melted the fuse holder.
