860 clutch issues

lonestarjeff · Jun 30, 2017

I suddenly have some pto clutch problems with the 860. No problem cold, but once things heat up the pedal won't disengage the 2nd stage. Never had an issue until this week. One thing I have noticed the last couple of years, though, when I fully depress the clutch pedal I could feel/hear the engine loading up slightly. Sound like a split is in my near future?

Don't know I would check crankshaft thrust end play. Gotta start somewhere...

Maybe keep it simple with a linkage adjustment first.

My MF165D had the same issue with the double clutch some years ago....pto clutch would not disengage. After looking around the internet awhile I came across the YT forums. Turns out the tractor engineers designed a little port into the underside of the bell housing of the MF hundred-series. You could just get a flat wrench in there to adjust the pto clutch fingers.

I can't find that little port on my 860... :roll: :lol:
