Maybe you guys can help me again. I have a "51 DC with a clutch problem. Sometimes it will stick engaged. I can pull the clutch handle back and I keep going. Most of the time I can "goose" the throttle and it will disengage.

What could the problem be and how hard is it to fix?

Mine was doing the same thing. I slipped the clutch a couple of times plowing, and it hasn"t given me any trouble since. I always park it with the clutch disengaged.

You could have internal problems which will require a split, but the old time "quick cure" is to drain the oil, both in the engine and bell housing, and fill it with kerosene, or diesel. Put in an extra gallon in the bell housing and run it for ten minutes. Repeatedly engage the clutch, do it slowly allowing it to slip, so the the solvent cleans all the gum off the clutch surface,This extra kerosene will flow back into the oil pan over time . Then change the oil, add a quart to the bell housing and away you go.

Hi Ted - I kind of like transmission fluid for internal "run to clean" methods of unsticking rings, valves, lifters (when hydraulic) etc. on old engines. Think that would work on oil-bath clutch gunk?

I'm not sure I understand you "quick cure." After you drain the oil from the oil pan and bell housing, do you fill both the oil pan and bell housing with kerosene or diesel? How much? Won't this hurt the engine? Once you run your cleaning process for ten minutes, drain the kerosene or diesel from both the oil pan and bell housing and replace with new oil. What type of oil and how much? Would this be the same for my 44 & 48LA's? Thanks for the clarification.

On the DC the oil pan and clutch housing are joined by a slit between the pan and the block, all oil will eventually intermix. So, you need to drain pan, clutch housing, and filter, for a comlete oil change. The kerosene won't hurt the engine for a short run, I'm not talking about running it wide open, or under load! Then, when the clutch is cleaned up, drain all three areas, pan, filter, and bell housing, and replace with your regular engine oil.

would this "cure" work for cleaning my cc3 innards?, or all tractors for that matter.

Thanks, I'm new to this. Does the LA have the same type oil pan and clutch housing as the DC? If so should I clean it out the same way? I'm thinking more about the sludge in the oil pan from 60 years of use.

I have had trouble with clutches releasing when I set them up too tight on stock tractors. I also had one of the arms in the old style clutch in a 44dc rust up, had to split it. T he problem is when you run 80+ hp through the stock clutch. You need to set it up enough to hold but not so much so it won't release. What's everyone doing for clutches in pullers? As for the kerosene/ dsl. fuel thing. My dad used to use no. 1 fuel oil in his dc3 to clean the sludge out, never seemed to hurt a thing.

Thanks guys, I will try to slip it a little this week while plowing. I'm going to play around with my old 3-14. If that doesn't work I will try the kerosen trick. I have cleaned out a old John Deere engine like that, worked pretty good.
