Installed a new belt pulley bearing on my 1958 520. Now, after putting everything back it will not engage. I can hardly move the clutch handle, it is very hard. Nothing happens.
I had taken the belt pully completely off several times before and have put everything back without a problem. This time I took everthing off, took out the old bearing and installed a new one. Got the new bearing through John Deere dealer and is exactly like the old one.
The new bearing is all the way in as it should be. The bearing retainer is all the way in also. However, when I put back all the facings, riveted disc, and the final adjusting disc, I barely now have enough room to start the adjusting castle nuts. And the engaging clutch handle will not move.
Have taken it apart several times and the diagrams and instructions in the JD manuals, but still have the problem.
Appreciate any advice and assistance. Help!!
Thank you. David
