WD hand

A friend just bought a good running WD but the hand clutch will not stay engaged. I have read that you can adjust by removing shims to bring the plates closer together. Can this be done without splitting the tractor through a removable cover?
Thanks, Richard
PS. I have worked on a lot of tractors for over 40 years, but never a WD.
 
Yes the hand clutch can be adjusted without a split. The cover under the battery box needs to be removed. I would suggest getting a repair manual before diving in too far.
 
Pretty easy to do, as long as it still has shims inside. Battery off, cover under battery off. Brass shims are in three locations on clutch assemblt- remove same number from each section, test by pulling back on clutch lever. Should be tight enough to hear/feel a snap. If no shims are there, or if all are removed and still no snap, then you need new clutch plates, and a split is required. Also check the operating yoke for wear- that is a two-piece- CRS says it can be replaced without a split. I&T AC-11 service manual has details.
 
Also there are 3 rollers that can wear grooves into the washer piece thing. You can undo the large snap ring and then turn the washer piece a few degrees so that the rollers are on fresh metal.
