Ford 3000 clutch not disengaging

Jhutch · Apr 5, 2020

I was using my ford 3000 to do loader work. Went to push in the clutch and she just keep going. Clutch feels the same as always just won?t disengage. Early in day i did accidentally let out on the clutch fast, foot slipped, but I must have used it 20 times after that no issue. Related idk maybe, any ideals? Also if it has a duel clutch can I put a single clutch in it? If I buy complete kit. As I have a backhoe on the rear and never going use pto on it. So duel isn?t worth extra to me if I don?t need. I plain to split it, but would love to have the parts to fix same day, but I don?t know what?s broken yet. But if a single disk kit will work may just buy whole kit as there cheap.

Going single clutch will need different flywheel and will have no PTO.

From what I read you wouldn?t have live pto meaning if you pushed the clutch in the pto would stop, so that?s wrong? But if it takes different flywheel then that?s out anyway.

here's a possible and had it happen..the pilot bearing has seized ?
is there a inspection cover on the under side to look if the clutch is moving/debris ?
when its NOT running...

check linkage.. see it move?.. does it have pressure as you push it in?

suspect either fork, or pressure plate broke if linkage still moving the arm on the tranny.

single clutch requires different transmission as yours has two shafts at the double clutch plates, a inner shaft and an outer shaft and two clutch discs.

Well I pulled the tank and steering gear box today, and to my
surprise it has a brand new clutch in it, iv only own it a month
and the guy I got it from must have installed it, because it
doesn?t even have clutch dust on it. all looks new. When
pushing clutch in it doesn?t seem to move the fingers on the
clutch Much at all. There is a 1/4 inch free travel before throw
out bearing Makes contact, then after in does it looks like it
only presses the fingers in about 3/16 of a inch. I plan to take
it loose threw clutch adjustment whole. Then slide pressure
plate toward the rear for I can see if the disk is froze of the
shaft not letting it float free. The everything in it being new
caught me off guard I was expecting to see something
obvious

You know that hadn?t crossed my mind. I pulled the tank and steering gearbox-to look threw the clutch adjustment whole, to my surprise clutch is all new, guy I bought it from must have had it put in. As iv only owned it a month. Hopefully he put a pilot bearing in to. But I?m gonna pull clutch loose threw the whole and see if disk is free, if it is I?ll put transmission in gear and see if I can turn the crank with out the shaft moving that would tell me if this was the issue. Thanks for the ideal.

I am doing an Oliver right now that would not stop. One of the bolts that the release fingers moves had broken. But the nut stayed in place in the cover. If you can check those with a wrench through your inspection hole.

Will got it split apart today and the pilot bearing was trashed. It has a needle bearing in it. I?d like to find a solid bushings as I like those better. So for no luck finding one tho
