Does any one have the spec for the minimum thickness of the clutch? I have been though all of the adjustments and made my mind up that the clutch needed replaced. I now have the tractor split and think the clutch looked thick enough it should have locked up. Now I wonder if I have a pressure plate issue and maybe I should replace everything. If I knew the thickness spec I could confirm it. The 350 is a 1958 row crop.

Thanks in advance

I've seen alot of clutches that look good and they don't work. Replace everything, why split the tractor twice!
 
About .380 to .395 seems to ring a bell with me, I may look it up later when I go out to the truck. If the fingers on pressure plate are not laying near parallel with backing plate, disc is worn out or flywheel step is not correct. (not likely). What does happen way too often is the rebuilders of the pressure plates take too much material off pressure plate and destroy integrity of the pressure plate. I have returned some that when you bolted them up to flywheel you had so little tension it wasn't worth putting on. You can have machine shop change dimension of flywheel step to accomodate this but should not have to do that. We normally used new pressure plates (rebuilt our own actally) at the shop but I don't have that option anymore.
 
I would ask to see a new one at the counter, then compare it to the one in hand. The condition of the lining cushion springs (if it is not a puck type clutch, hub springs and splines can also make new a good option. JimN
