Would the complete power director from a 8070 bolt into a 7060 ? A friend is having trouble with his and wanted to make it stronger

7060's aren't really known for power director clutch problems. So, what's the whole story ??

We’ll the power director was rebuilt 2 years ago then the motor last year with a new torque limiter it’s slipping again and he’s afraid that the power director will be next. It’s running about 170 horsepower and pulling a 8/16 melroe plow at 5.6 mph burning close to 10 gph

Afraid it might be next? So, you want to just replace it with something that for the most part is the same size? IDK, doc is the expert. If I had a spare $5, I'd say when the motor was redone, something is amiss with the rear main seal, leaking on the torque limiter. I don't understand what symptom you're seeing that makes the PD look bad?

Torque limiter should have had a shield kit installed when it was apart the last time. If the power director was just done 2 yrs ago, it should last for many ore years. Do the TL correctly and get on with farming.
