2010 Clutch...again

Kevin B · Jul 22, 2008

I have replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing. I found a dealer, after calling 5, that would let me measure the JD227 pressure plate tool and made my own. I adjusted all of the pressure plate fingers to +/- .002" of each other and the tool. With all of this, I still can't get the clutch to release all the way. I can force the transmission into 1st with some finesse, but non of the other gears will go with out shutting off the engine first. I have checked the range and speed shifters for proper adjustment. When mating the tractor back together after being split for the clutch (twice) the tractor slides together like it was on a rail. No having to pull it in (I know your not supposed to), no shoving, just a little jockeying around with the jacks and a small push. After all of that...ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Did you turn the flywheel if so did you go past the limmits? may have lost its distance to the throw out brg.RENE'

I didn't turn the fly wheel because it wasn't score and was still true. I changed the clutch plate because I had the tractor apart to investigate a transmission problem anyway and the clutch was a little oil soaked. So why not change it while I had it apart?

When putting tractor back together could have bent drive disk.It does not take much to make clutch drag.

I'll find out by this weekend. I'll probably get it split by Thursday. However this thing slides together smooth. I hope it's that simple.

How much "free travel" do you have at the clutch pedal?

Kevin B · Jul 23, 2008

I have about an inch of free travel. I can adjust it to almost none or almost the whole pedal. Although, when it is almost no free travel, that is all of the adjustment I have.

IT"S RUNNING! I had the split the tractor again and removed and installed the pressure plate several times. I readjusted the fingers on the pressure plate each time I put the plate on until it stayed the same every time.

I have never had to put a clutch and pressure plate on like that before. I'm out bush hogging tomorrow.

Congrats!!! Any ideas what was incorrect so we can watch for it when it becomes our turn?

Thanks

I think it was the springs on the pressure plate. After I exercised them by backing the mount screws out and back in, adjusting the fingers to the correct height each time. I repeated this over and over again until I didn't have to adjust the fingers anymore. It is the only thing I did this time different than the other three times I split the case.
