DC Clutch

I have a '50 DC-4 w/ hand clutch. I am replacing the rearend of the tractor with the correct original rearend. The "newer" one was put on over ten years ago. My question is about the hand clutch snapping over center. The clutch was rebuilt and I think a new clutch disc was put in when the rears were swapped. Afterwards the hand clutch would never "snap" over center. It always acted like you were close but couldn't quite snap over. Is this a matter of clutch/pressure plate adjustment, and if so how do I get it right (or as close to possible) while the tractor is split? I guess you can adjust the clutches through the side access plates, but need special tools that I do not have to adjust through the access panels. Thanks for the help.

I think my tractor has the same clutch as yours. Mine is a 50 dc 3. I think your clutch should be backed off a notch or two. I adjusted mine yesterday. I used a hose clamp configered to hold the lock pin down, and used a wood chisel to adjust the collar. To back it off, it would be clockwise from the rear of the tractor. I had a hard time locating the lock pin on mine. Hope this helps.

You don't need a special tool. Pull the left side panel and look for a small pin sticking out were the release bearing would meet the pressure plate on a foot clutch tractor. Pull out on the oin with your fingers and turn the assembly to adjust. I think you need to go counter clock wise. It don't take much to adjust it.

The left of the tractor is the side the clutch brake is on. Correct?

It is on the right while sitting on it. Some may be different and I am not sure on the foot clutch, but I thought they were all on the right.

According to the manual, the clutch is supposed to cam over center. It does on my 1950 model D
