TA Adj From Manual

Bought the Service Manual for Farmall 460 from this site. It says it is 2 volumes and is for Farmall 460 & 560. The TA part (adjusting specs. & directions) says TA 300 Series.
Is the Farmall 460 adjusted to the same specs such as:
3/16" TA clutch release shaft lever free travel;
4 1/4" clutch pedal total travel; etc.
The manual says the adjustments are the same for both the "300" and "400" series tractors. My question: ARE THESE ADJUSTMENTS THE SAME FOR THE 460 TRACTOR? Thanks in advance for the help.
 
If I remember correct, disregard the stop bolt part of a 300 and use 1/8 inch instead of 3/16 for the t/a handle link rod pin with the t/a clutch shaft turned until release bearing just bumps the t/a clutch fingers. Other measurements the same.
Reason for not being the same is after 300 and 400 tractors the stop bolt and clutch pedal travel setting was dropped. No stop bolt on later pedals, also the top part of the T/A clutch operating shaft lever length was changed after 300 and 400 tractors.
 
I decided to add to the information My solution to worn link pins and pivot points so the TA works correctly:

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.
