62' 460 Clutch TA Linkage Adjustment

My son and I just got our 460 put back together from a major overhaul, front to back. Old girl started right up, just have some adjusting to do. One of the adjustments is the clutch. I push the pedal all the way and the clutch does not engage so I can get the tractor in gear. I put a new clutch, throw out bearing, ect, I can only screw out the yoke on the clutch linkage another 1/2 inch. What do I need to adjust? Your help is appreciated.
 
guess u need a manual and it will tell u how to adjust it and get t.a. syncronized. also when u step on the clutch pedal it has to disengage the disc, not engage it.
but for starters make sure u have 1" free travel on pedal.
 
I adjust a worn set of linkages so that the pedal releases the shifter when pushed down 1/2 the distance to the full pedal travel from the place where the main clutch begins to move the tractor. As the vet said, set the master clutch freeplay, (1.25 inches from the platform measured at the point where the pedal arm touches the platform. Next, tape a wooden 12" ruler next to the clutch arm so it sticks out forward past the pedal about 6 inches. With clear space ahead of the tractor, put it in first direct, and let out the clutch slowly. as you begin to move note the location of the beginning of tractor movement on the ruler (the number doesn't matter, it only allows you to know where the clutch starts to move the tractor.)
Stop the tractor, and mark that spot on the ruler.
with it shut off, and looking at the ruler, note how far it is from that mark, to fully pushed pedal. Set the TA clutch so it releases at 1/2 that distance. this setting allows the pedal push to release both clutches when pushed (correctly) to its travel stop. and assures that the TA clutch is fully engaged before the master clutch begins to move the power into the gears.

Am I reading this correct. You cannot get the tractor in gear. That means the clutch is not releasing, just the opposite of engaging. If you have approx 1 1/4 inch of free movement of clutch pedal from platform to the point where throwout bearing makes contact with clutch fingers, and you cannot get it in gear,(grinds gears with engine running) the you have a problem right at the clutch and not the external linkages. Disk in backwards, throwout bearing cocked on sleeve, fingers (maybe only one out of wack) damaged pressure plate when putting together or a host of other causes. Hard to tell from here.
