does any one have the measurements for a new double clutch install on a 601 workmaster I have an I&T shop service manual and it wants you to make a template to do this I would rather just measure it if possible this my buddies tractor and I am doing this as a favor for him. I own and operate an auto repair shop and this thing has one my 2 lifts tied up makes it tough to work with only 1 bay when you are used to having 2 bays. If any of you guys need help with any vehicle questions I can answer them for you not so much with tractors L.O.L.
 
Not sure what you mean.

The double clutch assemblies used on vintage Ford tractors with so-called "live power" are factory adjusted.

Are you speaking of a pilot shaft?

Okay, Ephratah. Thanks for the offer of advice.

I have a 2005 Ford Ranger extended cab pickup. It seems that the "door-ajar" switch on the passenger's side has malfunctioned. I had this same problem on my former 1997 Ranger and the fix was to spray WD-40 into the latching mechanism on the door. Apparently the switch would get stuck and by spraying the lubricant into the latch mechanism, it would free-up the switch.

I've sprayed PB Blaster into the latch mechanism on this truck about 7 to 10 times and it hasn't fixed the problem. Any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks again for any help you can give.

Welcome to the forum - Glad to have you!!

If it's a reputable kit, you shouldn't need to adjust anything other than the pedal free play. Just to assure yourself it is correct I believe the 3 fingers for the transmission pressure plate should be 3/4" higher than the PTO pressure plate fingers.

Free Play Setting: 1½” - Turn the adjusting screw in to increase free travel or out to decrease free travel.
Clutch Adjustment: Lengthen the clutch release rod to decrease height and shorten to increase heights.
On 5-Speed transmissions, the clutch pedal can be repositioned to the 7” height for transmission clutch operation only. Relocate the clevis pin to the front clevis hole.
 
i would unplug the connector at the latch and see if the warning goes away the latch provides a path to ground i tried to attach a wire diagram and it will not allow it
 
thanks for the replies i was not aware that the clutch came factory preset and i do not trust factory settings i all ways verify plug gap prior to installing in a vehicle
 
If you insist upon adjusting or verifying the adjustment, you will need a pressure plate press and the proper measuring fixture(s).

This is why the assemblies are factory adjusted.

On the last one I had apart I took the flywheel off bolted the clutch asy up to the flywheel and made tools to check it using a known good set up...

I now have tools to check clutch asy set up from a known good working unit if I can remember how to use it.
 
related, check carefully the condition of the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel - they are special shouldered bolts and on the last on I did they were stretched and needed replaced -
 
Thanks for the help got it back together and running still have some bugs to work out but getting closer
