I just bought a MF 150, and the PTO wouldn't engage. So, following the directions I found on this forum, I started by adjusting the free play on the clutch pedal. When that didn't work, I adjusted the three bolts on clutch itself. The PTO works fine now.
I'm not much of a mechanic. I do enough of my own work to be dangerous, and I consistently second-guess myself. I made my own "feeler gauge" that was .0625 thick. I have read on this forum that the gap should be anywhere from .040 to .090. I have also read that the gap isn't as important as the fact that they all need to be the same. Here's my question...if you have made this adjustment, you know that you don't have much room to work. I am reasonably confident that they are all set the same, but I would get a little bit of movement when I would attempt to tighten up the lock nut. How exact do these settings need to be? If one is at .0625 and one ends up at .08 after tightening, is that the end of the world? Am I worrying too much here?
