I have an elderly friend that has a John Deere 2350 and would like me to fix his clutch pedal that is tough to push down. I am not familiar with this tractor and would appreciate and recommendations.

Thanks

I bought a used 2950 after operating a 2350 for many years. The first thing I noticed on the 2950 was how hard the clutch pushed. The linkages were both the same with the exception the 2950 did not have a grease fitting on the pedal pivot pin. I found the bushing bound and full of fine dirt. I had to pry the pedal of the pin. After cleaning the pin and bushing up and drilling the pedal/bushing and installing a grease fitting, it works much better. I believe the older tractors depended on a bronze bushing and the newer ones had gease fittings. I hope this helps.

I`m a little more familiar with the 20-30 series however I`ll stick my nose in here cuz this could be a quick fix. On the older series there has been a tendency for a grease/dirt combo to accumulate in the transmission input shaft. Thats the shaft that the throwout bearing rides on. Afore you change springs and linkage solutions pop the access cover (little round cover on the left side of the clutch housing)(at least it is on the 20-30 series) And give that shaft a lite coat of wd-40 or the like. Dont over do it cuz you dont want that stuff anywhere else in there. That should change the consistency of the gooey crud and make it work easier immediatly. If it doesnt work resort to the previous posts. My guess is that the old guy is still as strong as ever. Just the crud stiffening things up. PS Do not sustitute Bag Balm for WD 40 in this application

You've got a dry - and wry - sense of humor, John.
I like it! The bag balm probably won't heal that shaft at all -- but it's a good thought to try to pop that round acess cover and spray some WD-40 (wonder if they're on the 50 series as well).

Our local John Deere dealer had a close out on some JD spray lube they said was a cross between WD40 and PB Blaster. The big feature is that it's Green! Bet that stuff would look great on your cows.

Dave,

If there's a spring return on the pedal, look into a lighter spring. An extension on the pedal would give more leverage and easier movement, but also require more travel. If you do much else, you risk clutch slippage and causing an expensive repair down the road.
