My 1955 WD-45 (#195594) hand clutch flops back and forth after engaging. I adjusted the shims and obtained .065" clearance between clutch plates as stated in the service manual. There is about 6" of play at the top of the handle. The transmission stays engaged as handle flops. The handle "clicks" properly when disengaged. The handle just doesn"t seem to want to "lock in" after engaging. Should I try adjusting the yoke on the lever link? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hand, foot clutch, and brakes did not come with factory bushings. They can be bored and bushed at a machine shop to reduce play.

Sounds like the mechanical connections are badly worn. Mine is almost like that as well.

Can the mechanical connections be rebuilt? How tough a job is it?

I believe it can be done and I believe I will do it with mine. Unfortunately, I have 16 semi restored tractors (look restored but all could use some small improvement). With that number of specimens, the loose linkage is down the list quite a ways. I've got a couple of rebuilds, etc. that take precedence.

The job will likely consist of boring the levers to a larger size and pressing in a bushing plus replacing all the studs and pins. I've fixed several seats so well that horizontal sway is reduced to 1/8" or less. It can be done.
