Hello Folks
I have adjusted up my 165 clutch and it functions nicely now. However the crew are still complaining, seems not all of them are as limber as me and they reckon their knee is nearly up around their ears at the top of the clutch pedal travel – I’ve tried telling them that they need to lose weight around their middle sections but all that has gotten me is dirty looks, especially from the female elements !!
For those not as slim as me I need to try and adjust the pedal height so its travel starts lower. I’ll start by straightening the connector rod, the slight bend in it isn’t helping.
I know from the Operator Manual that I need the 1/8” initial “free” travel (at the collar), but if I adjust it at the collar how much total travel do I need before the pedal hits the floor – is just enough to trip the PTO clutch OK, or does it have a specified amount (radius?) of travel too.
Cheers - Foster
