I'm trying to diagnose some problems with the multi disc clutch on our 1925 McCormick Deering 15-30. Why does it have a clutch brake? Our 1927 Farmall Regular has a multi disc clutch, but does not have a clutch brake, and it works fine.

I don't know the answer, but my '27 Regular, with multi disk clutch has the clutch brake. I don't recall how it was connected.

What is your 15-30's problem?

The clutch seems to be sticking. Once I idle the engine way down, and grind it into gear, it will shift OK, if I lock the brake and slip the clutch, to "shine up the discs". But the next time I start it up, I have to go through the whole process, again. The clutch plates are rusty, pitted, and in bad shape, but I don't know where to get new ones. I installed a NOS clutch brake, but it is old and hard. The belt pulley seems to turn, slowly, all the time, but I don't know if that is related to this problem, or something else. Any advice would be appreciated.

The clutch sticking like that is common with old tractors. Rust locks thing up fast and easy and unless you either block the clutch down or find a new clutch you will probably have to live with it. As far as what a clutch brake is for I can only say what they do in big trucks. The reason for them is to slow or stop the tranny gears so it you can shift gears a little more easyly.

On my regular, there was rust between the clutch linings and the backing disks. This made the clutch too thick overall - and thickness varied from location to location. I carefully drilled out the rivets, removed the linings. Removed all rust from backing disk and linings. After reassembly it worked well.

Belt pulley spins from heavy grease - I think there is a throw-out lever behind gear shift (10-20 anyway). But does indicate that the clutch is still driving the transmission.
