Farmall Super A-140 : Can you Adjust Clutch?

I ve got a Farmall 140 Offset tractor and was wondering if I could adjust the clutch to get a little more life out of it rather than splitting and replacing.
 
(quoted from post at 16:15:17 08/13/19) What issue are you trying to adjust away?

Slipping? Nope. Time for replacement.

It does not have much pedal when letting out. Has a slight shake when letting out.
 
you need about 1 inch of free play . uh, when your foot is not on the clutch, put your foot on the clutch pedal and begin to push down. the pedal should move about one inch (free play) before you feel the pressure from the clutch , itself.

Ok, so do I adjust the pressure plate fingers through the hand hole to get that changed? How do you all do it? I know there is a write up on doing it with a Cub and it tells you how far to adjust the fingers, etc. is there anything for the super A - 140 tractors?
 
No, you do not adjust the pressure plate fingers through the access hole. That is not how you adjust the free play. You should only adjust the pressure plate fingers when the pressure plate is out so they can be measured and adjusted correctly.

To adjust the free play of the clutch look at the underside the torque tube, back near the transmission. There is an access opening that allows you to move the nuts on a threaded rod. That is the clutch free play adjustment.
 
If the free play is OK (about 1 inch) it is as good as that gets. Hand pressure on the pedal should easily find the one inch. if
it is hard immediately, adjust as noted above, not the fingers. Jim
