Tonight I will have my first opportunity to see and understand the clutch adjustment process as part of my restoration.

My 1940FAA clutch engages way at the top of the pedal, and it is very difficult to drop it into any gear without gear grind, so I have been slowly dropping it into 4th to allow the gears to mesh, then move the shifter again into the desired gear.

I understand there is a sight window and some adjuster nuts, but will this accomplish both gear-mesh AND pedal engage adjustment? I would appreciate a diagram if someone has it handy.

Thank you.

Dear Kendog,
Bearer of the news A clutch that engages near the top of its travel (almost all the way out) is adjusted incorrectly. (should be about an inch and a quarter of play before the operator feels the pressure of release. But!!!! in that adjustment position, the travel of the clutch mechanism is near the maximum. This means that when the pedal is pushed all the way in, the clutch is even more released than when adjusted correctly. If your clutch is dragging, (as indicated in your post) adjustment will not fix it. The pilot bearing may be binding (possible) or the disc may be warped causing drag when pedal is depressed. Ive also seen rusted up splines on the input shaft to the trans cause dragging. In all these cases the clutch needs to be repaired (not impossibly hard, just a little strange). Follow the book.

Buy the I&T Service Manual for the Farmall A (FAA is the serial number prefix, not the tractor's model). The clutch adjustment procedure is detailed in that manual, plus the manual is handy for many other aspects of servicing the tractor.
