I've got one of the above and split it, 3 times now. I initially split it to change the flywheel pilot bearing. When I got it apart there were 5/16 washers (one each) spacing the pressure plate away from the flywheel. I changed the pilot bearing and reassembled without the washers. Once it was together the clutch would not disengage. I adjusted the clevis rod all the way up, it still would not disengage the clutch enough to not clash the gears. I pulled it back apart, measured everything against another tractor and then adjusted the bolts on the levers of the pressure plate way out, way more than necessary to make up for the 1/16 in. thick washers I'd removed. I put it back together, still nothing but grinding. I checked the pin on the arm of the throw out bearing lever to make sure it still held the lever in place. The throwout bearing is the same one that come out of it, put back in the same way. The clutch dd not work that great before, but you could get it in gear and the clutch disengaged. The bearing was making such a racket it was hard to tell what exactly it was doing before. Anyway, I pulled it apart and ordered a new clutch and pressure plate for a 1950 ford passenger car with a l-head 6. I'll wait for it to get here to see if we're using the same parts. That's my understanding anyway. The Funks use the donor engine clutch and pressure-plate and flywheel and the tracor input shaft and throwout bearing. Any input?

The car clutch disk won't work, it has a smaller diameter splined input shaft than the tractor. You need a disk from a truck - heavy truck - like the F400 or something.
