Oliver 55 PTO Clutch?

Just recently installed a pto clutch with all brand new seals, driven and driving plates etc. etc., now by looking at my manual it metions a couple of different ways to achieve the correct amount of force it takes to engage the clutch and the way Im trying is to have 32 lbs. up 2 ft. from the centerline of the cross shaft. Hopefully I'm headed in the right direction, but it seems like the adjusting ring determines the force it takes? By looking at the clutch itself once you have reached your dimension is that when the lever is pulled all the way back to the stop and the 3 little arms go over center. I have the tractor split in half. Need a little bail out here farmers. :?:
 

It looks like you are proceeding in the right direction. Adjusting the PTO clutch is very much like adjusting vise grips on to a rounded bolt head. Keep adjusting it tighter until it firmly snaps over center. Rotating the ring = turning the knob on the vise grips. Don't get too hung up on achieving the exact lbs. force, it's a reference point.
 
Ok so by adjusting the ring should take you over center not the handle there on the right aft side of the tractor? Now that Iam looking at it, I'm sure I have got the adjusting ring on the correct way, I know one thing, the ring does not wan't to screw down all the way down on that there hub. Anyway, maybe too many Colorado cool aides last night. Hey thanks for the help.
