H Clutch fingers wont touch the Throw out Bearing

BigRedEd · Apr 25, 2011

I reassembled the clutch and installed new throw out bearing. When we stabbed the motor back on the throw bearing does not touch the fingers on the pressure plate when engaged. New clutch disc was used. Any ideas?

Make sure the TO bearing isn't hanging up on the shaft and check to make sure your adjustments are correct.

Did you install a new pressure plate?
It's been a long time, but I believe the new pressure plate may be compressed with 3 bolts that need to be removed after mounting to the flywheel.
I could be wrong. Like I said it's been a long time.

That would do it! Those three bolts that hold it all together need to come out before it works. Also the fingers on an H should have three/sixteenths play and all need to be adjusted the same.

No new pressure plate; just a disc.
Pedal has 1 1/8" free travel.
When pedal pressed then looking in from the bottom; looks like 1/2" of space between bearing and fingers. Just odd!
Thanks

You need to adjust the rod that connects the pedal to the clutch cross shaft to get the correct free travel. If that does not correct the problem the clutch disk may be installed backwards.

if it worked before, putting in a new clutch disk would be a little thicker, so the throw out bearing should contact the fingers quicker. if it don't even touch now at full press, only thing I can think of is the wrong throw out bearing.

Installing a new thicker clutch disk will move the release levers toward the flywheel increasing the distance between the lever tips and the release bearing.

"Used" pressure plate...

Was it the same one you took off the tractor?

If you have the original to compare with, compare them. Measure the height of the fingers on both.

New throwout bearing...

Compare the new one to the old one. Are they similar enough to say so?

You've got the old parts, that DID work, and the new parts, that do NOT work, to compare... So, compare them and see what's different!
