3400 Clutch Questions

Hey Gents,

I have an older diesel 3400 and have have a few clutch related questions.

1. There's a grease cup on the bell housing you turn and it forces lube to where? What grease should be in it? How much and how often does one turn it?

2. If I pull the steering box is there a cutout in the top of the bell housing that would allow me to inspect the pressure plate.

3. The tractor sat for months and I've lost what I consider normal clutch pedal travel. I use to have a little free play and then spring resistance of the pressure plate until the disc was free and disengaged.
Now I have almost all free play then 1" of travel with the throwout bearing against the pressure plate and that takes me from full engaged to disengaged.

Any suggestions other than splitting it and replacing the clutch??
 
Just split it. Time you take everything off to look in the top, you could have it split. And you can actually fix it then. Looking in through the top will
let you look at what is wrong without being able to fix it.
The grease cup lubes the release bearing.
 
Going in through the top for no gain isn't going to make it easier. Drop the hoe, leave the loader on. Roll the rear end and transmission away from the engine and loader.
 
I'm about to split my gasser 3400, I dropped the fel. It wasn't hard, tricky getting the front tires past the rear of the loader frame but not impossible. Going to do all the routine Maint stuff while the loader is off and it's all easily accessible.

Aren't the back hoes pretty easy to drop? A few pins and hoses? Wish I had one.
 
I removed a 735 loader from my 3 cylinder 4000 with a couple bottle jacks and a 2 ton cherry picker. Had to think about it a little, but I did it.
 

Very similar, bottle jacks and a boom on my jd 750. The front of the jd was very light and it was only supporting the rear frame.
 
Makes sense Rick. The 753 backhoe is fairly easy to remove. I'd like to make the coupling for the hydraulics so I can operate the tractor with the BH removed. Anyone ever make one or have a link to one?
