Now that I have the tractor in two pieces and the clutch removed need some help opinions on the next step.
I have a spare dual disk pressure plate that was supposedly working fine when removed. I also have the one I just removed from the 3600. The face of the spare has a pretty good coat of rust but looks to be in good condition. The one out of the 3600 has a pretty good gouge in the middle of the plate from the rivets.
My original idea was to take both to a local clutch rebuilder and let them sort out what would be the best fix, install/supply new disks and I would have been good to go. Problem is it looks like another long time business that did good work is on it's way to closing the doors and they were the only game in town.
So now what do I do, anyone ever taken apart a Ford dual clutch pressure plate? Can it be done in the average shop? I can clean up the rust and both pressure plates look to be in good shape other than rust on one and scoring on the other. Would like to use the best PTO disk but not sure how to tell which one is in the best condition without disassembly.
Ya I could just buy a complete kit but if I can use what I have it would save me at least a couple hundred bucks.
