I have a 300u without T/A and it has a jumpy clutch in reverse only. From the info I have received, I need to split the tractor and see what is wrong. What I don't understand is why the clutch is jumpy only in reverse. Can someone please explain what could cause this? The only other imperfection in the drive train is 4th gear is only a little loud. Thanks for reading and looking forward to the responses.

Jimer...try lowering the RPM and see if it helps. I have a 350 that does the same thing at hi RPMs...maybe me maybe the tractor...don't know. Mine just works better at low RPMs.

Jimer, I believe you may find what I say interesting to try out.
The forces on the driver's vlutch leg in reverse (even on a U) are such that the instant the clutch starts to move the tractor, the driver is moved forward, pushing down the clutch a little bit. the driver then lets out the clutch more, and it happens again.
Try holding the edge of your clutch foot shoe against the tractor to buffer the position of your foot. If it fixes the problem, the clutch is fine. JimN

John-PaulT: Clutch chatter, whether it be car, truck or tractor, most commonly occurs during reverse gear engagement. It is a very common problem. The second most common gear for occurance is 1st (low) gear. The most common causes are: cheaply made aftermarket clutch assemblies, worn out pilot bushing, clutch pressure plate or disc got contaminated with grease or oil possibly during installation by someone with dirty hands - or because of a leaking seal somewhere, flywheel should have been resurfaced during clutch replacement - but was not, and excessively worn splines on input shaft or worn input shaft bearing in transmission. Also, a generally well worn transmission (with lots of slack in the power path) can contribute to the problem. If you go to your search engine and type in "clutch chatter reverse" you may learn more. Hope this helps. mike durhan

(take this as thought not what to do)

Im no tractor guro (here to learn myself)

But are you sure its the clutch? That should act same in all gears. I would suspect its the reverse gear or if its shuttle shift its something with that not the clutch. Either way I think you will have to take it apart to see andit maybe very obvious at that point (like tapered IE badly worn reverse gear)


I hope someone that knows more about this tractor will chime in with some advice for you. The above was just something to think over while checking the tractor out.
