At least one is a new unit. The tag on it is Lipe Corperation, model 330-16 1928. The clutch disc is 13" overall, with a 7.25" ID on the facing. It has a 10 spline, 1.5" center. The pressure plate has 12 mounting holes, on both 14.25", and 14.75" bolt circles (there are 2 complete set of holes) The throwout I have on one uses an adjusting nut on the shaft connecting it to the pressure plate, and it has 2 pegs on the sides, so it looks like it uses a rotating fork, not the pivioting kind. I was thinking that it might be for a later 60's 2-2.5 ton chevy diesel, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone have any idea where I could look up the lipe number? I'm told they're not in buisness anymore, but there should still be references to them somewhere. I've also heard that it may be for a tractor, what do you guys think. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Anyone need a new clutch??
