My 2 stage clutch is working now. I think when grandpa had the engine rebuilt they adjusted the clutch for driving and not the PTO. A few turns of the adjusting rod and I was up and running. The transmission engages when the pedal is almost all the way up, I assume that meens my clutch plates are probably getting thin?

The last tractor I owned was a FE35 petrol with a dual stage clutch, when I pulled it down the inner pressure plate was badly scored,I didnt what to spend a lot a money, so I set the plate up in a lathe using a dial gadge, then ground the face using a metal working disk on a portable angle grinder which I had fastened onto the cross slide of the lathe carriage. the finish was as new and I reassembled it using new clutch plates ,throwout bearing , housing bushes and the pair of shafts that fit into the throwout lever,
worked great and the fergy was a pleasure to drive.
Cheers Arthur

TOM, good to hear it releases, and yes, your plate sounds like its getting down, if it starts to slip, fix it up straight away otherwise it could ruin your pressure plate etc. cheers .

But a machine shop can take a few tens of thousands off the flywheel (crazed or not) if necessary for about $20. Would want to resurface it anyway.

I thought a crazed flywheel was useless until I did what I said and the machinist say "no problem". Looked like new after .030 off. Couldn't believe it.

Just some FYI.

Mark, you must have machinists that work for $5 an hour, last one i had machined cost $125 plus price of carbide cutting tools, the flywheel and pressure plates were as hard as case hardened bearings, took forever to machine, when theyre like that i will just buy new ones, less costly and new with warranty and little down time of machine. cheers buddy.

I don't know. There is a population 2700 town down the road with a small machine shop and they do all the farm work that I can't. I was dually impressed. For one thing, I thought crazing went way down deep but I now know it doesn't.

Had the same thing done to a pair of rear brake drums. Previous owner kept one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. Shoes were fried and drums crazed. Took to machine shop and took off a few thousands and presto, good as new.

Cheers.

Mark
