Just got an A 1944 I think, when I engage the clutch lever, it does not "snap" in, and the tractor barely moves

I understand that the cover over the clutch removes and I turn in the 3 bolts/nuts, but how far do I turn it? Do I do this with the clutch lever in or out? How do I get the "snap" back? and how do I know if the clutch is completely worn out

any help is appreciated

Dave

Just like 2-pop says except I never have measured the torque required. Just tighten each nut about 1/4 turn until you get the good "snap" when you engage the clutch. (Do all three nuts each time)If you can never get it to work right then it is not difficlt to replace the clutch plates which may be worn down too much. I always recomend you buy the manuals and do it right!!

Take the cover off the outside of the belt pulley.Insde you will see 3 nuts that should be held with cotter pins,remove the pins and turn the nuts in 1/4 of a turn each.adust the nuts until it takes 70 foot lbs. of pressure to snap the clutch in.Install the pins and cover
