I tightened the clutch on my 50 not too long ago. After using a disk the clutch is somewhat loose again. It doesn't have the same "pop" that a tight clutch has. Do I need to tighten the clutch already? How often are you suppose to tighten the clutch on these old tractors? Any info greatly appreciated. God Bless!

there is very little clearance between a loose clutch and tight clutch. I would recommend new clutch disc and be sure to clean the disk drive and inside of pulley. Also a good double disk plate is critical for good adjustment. A good way to clean is with high air pressure and blow the disc with the tractor running. These old type clutches are good but notorious for adjusting.

Was your 50 setting for a prolonged period of time? the reason I'm asking is because I bought a 520 last year that hadn't been run for a while causing the clutch discs to paste fast.After taking it apart cleaning everything up and getting it running it took 4or 5 adjustments till it settled down again.I wouldn't be afraid to just tighten it for now and see what happens.

Tye, You mave a broken clutch dics. You should have to adjust the clutch this often, you better remove all the facings & check them. You'll need to pull the clutch driver, Take note of the timing marks, or balancing marks. There another facing behind it. Something isn't right? Just check it all out then you'll know! RLA
