Hi, new to forum. I use tractor for cutting recreation areas football pitches etc. So it's for go not show.
Have been nursing to end of season. Low oil pressure, replaced rad and water pump earlier in year. Decided to refurb engine so tractors split and engine at refurb shop.
Questions are
1/ there is quite a bit of dark engine oil? In the case see pic. Gearbox transmission oil is lighter/clear, so I'm hoping input shaft seal is ok.. Coming from engine seal flywheel rope seal?
2/ I intend fitting a new lux clutch and thrust bearing. Anything else I should do before reassembly?
Am on on the right lines please?
 
personally I would replace the input shaft seal while you have it split. if it does starts to leak you will have to split the tractor again. that's what I would do if it were mine.
 
That one should be easy to replace the input shaft seal on the transmission (single stage clutch). The tractors with the 2 stage clutch are more difficult to do. I like to add the second drain hole in the bottom of the bellhousing as indicated in the picture by John Deere D as it helps to make it easier to determine if it's a engine, or transmission leak later on should it leak later on. It's something I think MF should have done when they were new.

Hi I'm confused.
Clutch says dual. Although not functioning as such as it appears the adjuster bolts missing.
Can anyone confirm what the input shaft for a dual clutch looks like on a mf35 a3-152 please? Pic?
 
After further internet surfing it appears the input shaft isn't dual clutch, why have I got an dual clutch yet single clutch input shaft, anyone help please?
 
Got it!

The tractor is fitted with dual clutch with secondary PTO clutch parts removed.

Found text and drawing explaining. Screw 16 is the secondary adjuster missing in pic between yellow springs as removed, as per instruction.

Please share with the "YT" group the operating history of this Tractor...

Was the original Engine swapped out for a donner engine????

Was the original Transmission swapped out for a donner Transmission?????

Was the original Clutch assembly swapped out for a donner Clutch assembly???

These tractors are showing up more and more the result of parts replacement NOT as per factor new...

I purchased the Manuals as soon as I required accurate procedures and technical information...

All the best with your adventure.....

In order for a 2 stage clutch to work, the transmission has to have 2 input shafts, one inside the other. I don't see an outer shaft in the picture. You will need a different tranny if you want live pto.
 
The internal components between the transmission installed and designed originally from factory with the Dual Clutch Assembly and the internal components used with the Single Clutch are NOT just the input shaft.....

i don't think it's been swapped

Was the original Transmission swapped out for a donner Transmission?????

Don't believe so casing numbers seem to suggest all produced same year.

Was the original Clutch assembly swapped out for a donner Clutch assembly???

The clutch is a Spicer Laycock clutch. By 1964 Laycock's principal products were: Laycock de Normanville overdrives and spring diaphragm clutches for the motor industry and flexible couplings also for industrial use. Dual clutches for tractors, garage equipment, railway air and vacuum brakes, control valves for fluids and gases were also manufactured. My man
