Hello all --
Need some advice on clutch adjustment on a "55 860 (two stage clutch / live PTO.) The PTO clutch is slipping under heavy load but the drive clutch engagement point is already so high that it"s a real pain. My left knee is just about in my ear before the main transmission starts turning.
So far as I know the only adjustment is via the turnbuckle on the external linkage and that moves both clutch points up or down. If I move the engagement point of the PTO up I think I won"t have much pressure at all on the drive part of the clutch let alone be able to lift my foot that high.
Is there a way to shorten the distance between the PTO stage and drive stage? Am I just kidding myself and the clutch is just worn out?
Thanks in advance,
Pete P.
