Does the Rockford Clutch come off the flywheel simply by removing the bolts around the perimeter?
Any other removal/installation tips would be appreciated.

This is a '51 Super C.

Thanks

Contrary to Dave, I don't think the C has any bolt holes in the clutch plate to compress the clutch springs. That is only on the H and M. You have to split the C to do the clutch, so I guess IH decided the compression holes were not needed. You need to use a clutch alignment tool in the pilot bearing hole when you reinstall the clutch pressure plate. The tool is to hold the clutch disk centered while you tighten the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel. The clutch is engaged until you put the tractor back together so the clutch plate can't move around while you are doing the reassembly. Thus the clutch plate has to be perfectly centered for the drive shaft to go through into the pilot bearing. I have done this without the alignment tool, just by getting back and sighting through the hole to line things up as the clutch pressure plate bolts are tightened, but that is not the recommended way. If you happen to have the main drive shaft out or a spare one around, you can use that as the alignment tool.

Not only on H's & M's. A's & B's & C's also have them and they have to be split to R&R their clutch too.

I took a look at my Rockford clutch pressure plate for the Super A. There are no holes in the pressure plate to use bolts to compress the springs when removing and reinstalling the pressure plate on the flywheel. The only holes are 6 holes around the perimeter to bolt the plate to the flywheel.

I have a NOS Super A Rockford Clutch pressure plate in my stock. I'm gonna go take a look tomorrow. Never thought of them having those holes for compressing the springs. I've had several tractors with this clutch apart and never looked for or used those holes. Thanks for setting me straight!

Yes, that is how you remove the pressure plate and disc from the flywheel.

Take out 2 or 3 and find the holes in the pressure plate to put them in that will compress the springs in the plate before you take them all out. If my memory is not too cloudy, I think there are 6 total? (I'm sure somebody will correct me if I have that wrong.) You can get it off without doing this, but you will need to do this to get it back on.
