I need to find out how to pull the clutch on this model A because there is oil leaking from behind the clutch and throwing oil all down the side of the tractor. Could someone tell me how to pull it or i will have to just start disassembling it on my own. thanks Bruce

THANKS EVERYBODY THAT TOOK THE TIME TO PUT SOME IMPUT TO MY PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY APART AND THERE IS NO LIP SEAL WHERE I WAS EXPECTING ONE BUT THE DRAIN HOLE IN THE TIN HOUSING WAS COMPLETELY PLUGGED WITH OIL AND DIRT. I AM HOPING THAT CLEANING IT UP WILL LET THAT OIL THAT WAS TRAPPED IN THAT TIN HOUSING DRAIN OUT AND NOT BE SLUNG OUT BETWEEN THE CLUTCH DRUM AND THE TIN HOUSING. THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY! BRUCE

ron-
frank's posting has the correct sequence for removing the clutch/pulley assembly. another thing to check- when you pull the pulley, there are spiral grooves cut into the casting on the back of it that are supposed to "sling" the bulk of the oil back in, before it gets out to the clutch. make sure these are clean. also, there is a drain hole bent into the tin housing that bolts to the crankcase behind the pulley. make sure it's open. my 49 A has the same problem, and i'm pretty sure now that it's the main bearing. just haven't taken the time to remedy it.

I suppose you have checked to see that the transmission is not over-full...??? That, along with running the clutch side low, like when plowing, may cause it to throw oil... Could the 1st reduction case be over-filled.?? I think that usually will drain back into the trans, anyway....but will it.?? Hope these werent "dumb" questions..!! Hope is nothing too serious.....

RON,,,,
There is NO transmission oil in the 1st reduction case on an A. The trans being overfilled has no effect on the A. It has engine oil in the 1st reduction case and not trans fluid, the oil drains back into the engine sump not the trans.

Sorry.....I know that the late "B"'s must be filled seperatly.....I didn't know the "A"'s were different.... My 60 is mostly like an "A", and it has a seperate oil filler hole... Well, anyway...hope it's nothing serious...

Bruce:

I'll start this out, and somebody with a better idea can jump in later.

Remove the clutch cover. Remove the large bolt and washer in the end of the crankshaft .
Remove the three cotter pins from the castellated nuts.
Remove the castellated nuts.
Remove the cast outer clutch ring. Lay it face down, top away from you.
Remove the outer clutch facing, lay it down on the cast ring the same way (it's an old trick...so it all goes together in the same orientation as you removed it. Might not be critical, but it can't hurt).
Identify the "V" marks on the clutch disk and crankshaft. If you can't find the marks, make two of your own, as the disk is counter weighted and must go back on in the proper orientation, or severe vibration can and most likely will, result.
Remove the driving disk from the crankshaft using two 1/2" (if I remember correctly) bolts with square nuts ? (this depends in the design, and year). If it's a high serial number "A", there could be an additional floating clutch disk in there.
Remove the inner clutch facing.

Now I'm really relying on memory, but I think you have a four bolt cover on the front edge of the first reduction cover where the clutch operating fork goes through.

Remove this plate and the fork assy.
Remove the nuts and bolts that are around the circumference of the pulley.
Slide the pulley off of the crankshaft.

Now before you do any of this, you might want to ask about how that much oil can get up in there. That pulley only sets on the crankend with a ball bearing and a bushing, and there might be something else (like a loose main bearging ?)that is causing oil to backup in the first reduction gear cover that might be the real culprit.
