There are six bolts which hold the pressure plate to the flywheel. There are open holes also, which seem to not be of any use. If you take out every other one of the six and put them in the open holes, you can screw them into the pressure plate and ithey will hold the pressure plate back against the pressure plate cover plate, keeping the springs compressed while you take the other three bolts out.

Cars and trucks generally don't have these "spring-compression" holes, so you can pull and replace an M pressure plate like you would in a car, but it is convenient to keep the springs compressed help line up everything. It also gives you more room when replacing the clutch without splitting the tractor.

Just like the throwout bearing grease zerk and the pilot bearing grease zerk, these old crude tractors have some features not adopted on the more modern equipment.
