D19 clutches

I am considering purchasing a D19 from a neighbor. The foot clutch is slipping under a heavy load, and the hand clutch sometimes jumps into neutral (especially in cold weather). I think I could live with the foot clutch for a while before I rebuild it, but the hand clutch is dangerous. Is there any adjustment or service that can be done to the hand clutch without splitting the tractor? Or would I be best off to just bite the bullet and replace both clutches? Any ideas about how much it should cost? Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same problem with the 'hand clutch' on my D17. I assume you mean the two speed 'power director' clutch. It would kick out of high range, especially in cold weather. I adjusted the shim packs according to specification. It did not help at all. I 'bit the bullet' and split the case (wasn't as bad as I thought it would be). The end plate for the high range clutch was warn where the rollers on the three fingers roll up out of the grooves to engage the cluch. I believe that part was about $65.00. Also, the clutch disks for one of the ranges were very warn (low range, I believe). I decided to replace all the disks (7 total). I think each disk was about $35.00. I also replace all the rollers. I think you can see where this is going. The cost for the parts was aproaching $500.00. All the parts were available off the shelf at the AC dealer. It was worth the effort though. It is a joy to operate now, not having to hold that lever in with your foot until it decides to stay by itself. I've wondered afterwords if these parts are available from any other source. I won't have to worry about that clutch any more. We used this tractor from new in 1959 fairly heavily until around 1983. After that it has only been used to mow a few acres and plow some snow occasionly. Last year was the first the power director clutch was ever serviced.

I would recomend replacment of the foot clutch assy. before it destroys the flywheel. The hand clutch is another matter altogether. This is a multi-disc wet clutch that is adjustable by moving shims in the clutch pack, providing it is not worn beyond adjustment. It is accesed thru the plate on the right side of the tractor near the lever. DON'T try it without a good manual. If it is not shimmed properly it won't work correctly and it may destroy it's self. If the hand clutch assembly is beyond adjustment it is VERY expensive to repair. The hand clutch is called the Power Director.
