Where can I find a clutch pilot shaft for c to line the clutch. Thanks in advance

Not sure I've seen one, though I'm sure there must be something that would work in that great gob of them strung together on the wall of the local garage.

I've never had any problem just centering them up by eye, and then engaging the PTO and turning the shaft by hand to align the splines if needed.

$15 to $20 at auto parts stores.

I had a machinist friend make on for me, but the generic one Bob shows in the picture will work just fine too.

I assume you at talking about lining up the clutch plate so you can slide the drive shaft back into it when you rejoin the front and back parts of the tractor. I've done this several times on the A,C series tractors and I've always done it by eye ball and never had a problem. I recall though that the pilot bearing hole is even size, like 3/4 or 5/8 inch and a piece of steel rod the appropriate size will side in. The spline hole in the clutch plate is also even size, so if you have piece of rod and a bushing the appropriate size, then you have a clutch alignment tool that will work. Also if you can't find a bushing, just sticking the rod (or a cut off bolt in the pilot bearing will help you eyeball center the clutch plate as you install it.

Take an old broom handle and grind down the end on a bench grinder,spinning the handle as you go, grind to fit the bearing, then grind to fit the clutch.It is fast cheap works fine. Dowel rod will work too.
