Is JD X500 PTO Clutch Adjustable?

My X500 is exhibiting symptoms of PTO clutch slippage. After a couple of minutes of mowing, starts chirping, then squealing, then smelling like hot rubber. I've pulled the deck, cleaned it up, greased the spindles (and they turn freely), but symptoms repeat. After cooling off, it works again for a few minutes, then repeats. Previous mowers I've had have had 3 bolts on the clutch that allow you to adjust it, but I don't see any such adjustments on this one. Is it toast?
Thanks
