Bleeding clutch HELP A.S.A.P.

I don"t know if it is similar to a JD 2755, but this is how the clutch is bled on that tractor.

Fill the reservior. Just below is a fitting that looks like a grease zerk. Run a piece of clear plastic tubing from the fitting into the fill opening on the reservior. Turn the fitting a few turns to open it. Press the clutch pedal to the floor and hold it there. Screw the fitting tight again and release the clutch pedal. Repeat until the fluid in the tubing is free of bubbles.

On the 2755 you must be VERY careful which DOT brake fluid you use. The wrong type will destroy the seals of the slave cylinder and you will have to spilt the tractor to change it

Hope this helps.

Don't know anything about your particular rig, but I usually bleed a clutch cylinder with the use of a "clutch bleeding tool" from NAPA, which will push the fluid in thru that bottom bleed screw and fills the system 'backwards'.

Otherwise you spend half a lifetime tryin' to get the darned air out of it.

Tryin' to help,

Been a number of years since I bought mine; think it was like $39 or something like that.

Now that I'm trying to remember, hope that it was NAPA; might have been the Snap-On salesman. At any rate, NAPA should have it also. Tell them you are trying to bleed a hydraulic clutch and they'll know what you are talking about.

It comes with a small reserviour for the fluid and an assortment of ends. It's a little hand operated "pump-like" gizmo.

Fill that cylinder from the bottom up and your problems are over ('cept for where did the fluid go to start with?) :>)
