As other posters have already stated, first thing is to get the right manual(s) for your tractor. Then take the end play out of the crank, as specified in the manual. To avoid over-tightening the clutch, tighten the castle nuts one notch at a time, being sure to tighten each one the same. then, check your clutch. After a few times you will develop a feel. Once you get the clutch properly adjusted, then future adjustments will only require only one or two notches on each nut at the most. You want the clutch to snap in crisply, but not so tight as to be difficult to snap out. It depends on your physical strength, height, etc. Be sure , once the clutch is adjusted to your satisfaction, to put the cotter keys in properly. You probably already know all this (John Deere 101), from the previous posts, but just a reminder. And by all means, as previously stated, do not attempt any thing directly with the clutch while the engine is running.
