In Reply to: Clutch Adjusting... posted by eric skokan on March 11, 2009 at 22:02:49:
Eric, here's the premise as Scotty described, and indeed my fork was bent forward about this much on my SA.
Where do you hear that "grinding noise" coming from?
That fork is supposed to be straight up and down. In a worse-case scenario, bent forward even more, that bottom front tip of the 'handle' of the fork, that part that moves forward when the pedal is depressed, could be hitting the spinning pressure plate assembly, causing the 'grinding' noise in the bell housing.
AND thus necessarily pulling even MORE of the clutch rod forward to make the adjustment.
If you got someone on the tractor to push the clutch pedal down, (motor off) and THEN you stuck your hand in the hand-hole, (so your fingers don't get mashed), you may be able to feel if the bottom of the fork is hitting the pressure plate.
That fork is not the most solid piece of metal, and I could see how it would get bent if, once the throwout bearing was bottomed on the clutch fingers, a previous owner with a heavy foot had tried to press it down even harder.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
