Never had a tractor with the M&W hand clutch so don't know what could be the problem. If I were you, I would take it off and put it back original. On the other hand, you may find what is wrong with it and can fix it. Don't know exactly what parts are involved to remove it, but you might have to go a salvage yard and find some parts because the M&W clutch may have replaced some of the original parts. If it's the main clutch the main steps to remove it are: 1) Remove the Lift All hydraulic unit. It's heavy, be careful. I replaced the bolts that hold it up one at a time with threaded rods and nuts and then carefully let it down. The drive shaft of the LIft All has a "cross" coupling. You have to position it so that one of the crosses is vertical to let the Lift All down. Also, all the pipes and the operating control that are on the outside of the clutch housing have to be removed. 2) Remove the bolts in the main drive shaft coupling just in front of the transmission. These bolts are tapered and wedged into the holes and thus are hard to get out. They also have rubber washers and I recommend getting new rubber washers. 3)Remove the clutch release mechanism, including where the carrier is bolted to the top of the clutch housing and also remove the cross shaft that has the fork that works the clutch. You have to take the bolts out that clamp the fork to the cross shaft and then knock out the thick heavy washers that are between the clamps of the fork. The washers act as keys to key the clamp to the shaft. When the outside parts of the cross shaft are loose, then the shaft will just slide out. 4)Take out three (every other one) of the six bolts that hold the clutch to the flywheel. Reinstall these three bolts in the three empty threaded holes in the pressure plate. This compresses the clutch springs and releases the clutch plate. 5) Now you can pull back and tilt the main drive shaft and slide it out of the clutch plate. 6) Take out the other three bolts that hold the clutch pressure plate to the flywheel and work the clutch around so you can get it out the bottom opening. Take the clutch to a clutch rebuild shop and have them rebuild it for you. While you are in there, you may want to consider replacing the seals on main drive shaft and the counter shaft that are on the front of the transmission. You have to remove the coupling on both of these shafts to get the seal holders out to install the new seals. The main drive coupling is keyed to the shaft, the counter shaft coupling that drives the lift all is screwed on the shaft and unscrews in a counterclockwise direction. Reinstall things in reverse order. If you have questions, E-mail me. I may have left something out, but I've tried to be complete.
