I bought an 880 and the clutch travel was such that the clutch rod would go up to and touch the bell housing and then some. I had to pull the engine anyway, and when I inspected the clutch it is in good shape - I can still read some of the lettering, it is not grooved or oily. The bushing in the release bearing was worn so badly it wasn't stuck in the bell housing anymore, but the pressure plate and flywheel look good.
I wonder what the deal was with the clutch so out of adjustment, and whether I can expect to bring it all back with the adjustment on the clutch rod. Any hints appreciated.

I had the same problem with my 77. After installing a new clutch plate I couldn't get the clutch to engage even after adjusting the linkage as far as it would go. After pulling the engine again *!*! we found that the 3 fingers that the throwout bearing engages can be adjusted. If it is the same as the 77 there are three skinny nuts on the pressure plate housing. By turning these you can bring the fingers back quite a bit. Make sure they are all even. I bought mine back about 3/8 inch and it worked fine after that. Peen the nuts when done. Later I discovered that the Oliver workshop manual has an adjustment procedure for these that involves removing the clutch, installing three spacers of a certain size depending on the model and then measuring the distance of fingers to the flywheel. The other solution is to install a new pressure plate assembly which should be correctly adjusted from the supplier.

When mine was that far,(it was a rebuilt clutch with about 250 hours on it) one of the fingers had a bad spring or springs and it got to one point where it felt like I was losing pedal as I used it. If you have it that far have it rebuilt or replaced you'll save yourself having to pull the motor again as I did after 250 hours. I'd say do the throw-out bearing also, and if I remember there's a pilot bearing in there also. It'll save you alot of wrenching later or breakdown when you'll need the tractor the worst. By the way is it diesel or gas? Good luck we really like ours!
