Pop the cover off the clutch pulley, you'll see 3 castleated nuts. Pull the cotter pins out, then tighten them ONLY ONE castelation at a time. You'll have to trust me on this if it's your first time, two notches might be enough that you can't even engage the clutch. Turn all 3 nuts the same amount, then try to engage the clutch. You should feel a good solid snap. If not, go one more notch on all 3 nuts. The I&T manuals give an amount of pressure (in lbs) on the clutch handle it should take to engage it but I don't remember what it is. Just try for a good clean snap when it engages. Don't forget to put the pins back in.

PS Watch your knee when you pull that clutch handle back!

I think it should be a "Law" that all new JD owners should have to pull a pull-type plow, with the clutch/chain kick-out...!!!! All us INITIATED to that, HAVE been welcomed to the "Club"...!!! 'Bet not many (now) have had that old "Clutch Limp".!!! You have to learn HOW to set on that seat, or get your knee BASHED in...!!!

The John Deere Manual says to engage the clutch before adjusting the three nuts. Just a reminder.

It just occurred to me---He may have a Broken clutch bolt..... . If so....he is going to have to tear it down, and will need an explanation on how to make a puller for the drive drum.... Hope he will not have to move the wheel out, to get it off..... let us know....!!!! Ron.

I was hoping it didn't have to come to that, since he said it was just slipping a little I hope a little adjustment will do it! He said he was new to JD, that's why I warned him about his knee or it will get an adjustment too...

Also, don't ever leave the clutch handle back, always put the clutch back in. If you need to let it idle, take it out of gear and push the clutch handle back in to engage it. When you leave it back, the discs sit there and rub a little bit, getting them hot and wearing them out. I think some of them may not lube right when the clutch is back either, but I don't remember.

Have fun with the JD, welcome to the club, watch that knee!
