Ford 3600 Clutch Identification

So I've got a Ford 3600 that needs a new clutch.

Symptoms:
Will start in neutral.
Gears will grind when trying to put it into gear or engage the PTO.
Clutch linkage cannot be shortened any more.
I am able to put it into/take out of gear if I bend clutch linkage to shorten the overall length, so I know its not stuck.

With that being said, I've noticed there are quite a few different dual stage clutches available from the usual suspects, all slightly different.

Attached is my identification plate, but I'll transcribe it here as well:

Tractor Number: C522259
Model: CA213C
Unit: 6L30B
Engine: 6J29A
Transmission: 6L04C
Rear Axle: 6K22C
Hyd. Pump: 6K07A
Hyd. Lift: 6H31B

I know its a diesel, and I've found some conflicting information that the numbers listed might indicate gas.

If anyone can provide any additional information about this new-to-me tractor, I'd be very appreciative.
 
CA213C

CA2 = 3600 1976-1981
1 = Diesel
3 = Live 540 rpm
C = 8x2 speed manual (4x1 + hi/low)

Unit = Built November 30, 1976 second shift
 

Yep, that sounds about right to me in terms of my physical interactions with the machine.

I just don't know how to find out the clutch information without having to split the case.
 
I ordered a pressure plate for my son's 4000 a couple weeks ago. Here's a reply to my post about it, with a 'cheat sheet' for
getting the right clutch/PP, thanks to Ian.

13C on the end indicate diesel, live PTO, 8x2 trans. Live PTO will have a dual clutch, but checking the parts book it could be 10" or 11" so you'll have to tear it down. We could call down to tech with a serial number and they could give us the selling dealer, original owner, if any warranty work, or service bulletins had been done, but even they couldn't tell us exactly what clutch was in it. Got better with the Jesi built machines (TN, etc.)as they had a tag with all the "variante" (SP?) codes, kind of like a build sheet for your classic car.
