Just adjusted the clutch and TA just like the book calls for. When I am pulling the wagon and baler across the field in 4th gear it seems like an automatic transmission> I assume that this is the clutch? TA seems to work there is no smoke! Is there an easy way to figure this out ?
Help and Ideas Please...If this matters its a 1958 with a 301 Diesel Combine engine. thanks Gang!
 
Well then ya did not get it wright One thing you will learn is that at times that ya can not go BY THE BOOK . SO this is where ya throw the book away and go by feel . First set the main clutch adjustment so you have about 1 inch of free travel on the main clutch so the throw out bearing is not running on the finger when the engine is running a WOT ( wide open throttle ) The remove the spring that goes to the T/A clutch and also remove the inspection cover over the T/A clutch and adjust it so that the fingers are not touching the bearing BUT THAT WHEN YA Push the main clutch pedal down that it will start to release it as the main is released It is hard for me to explain it as i could show you how in less then five min. So all i can say is read the book to get and under standing of HOW it is suppose to work and then make it work . I have said this many times that due to the tractor being used way tomuch when new the ware factor causes this problem of nothing working out by the book.
 

With a used clutch and TA the book becomes a crap shoot... If you set it by the book and get any binding you have to go the Vet route... You should not have to pull the TA handle back in order to change gears and then release to go back to the high side... If that is happening then you have the main clutch and the TA clutch working against each other...
 
Did it slip before you adjusted it?

I certainly hope you did not continue to run it with the clutch slipping after you discovered the problem, if it was not slipping before... If so you will be tearing the tractor apart to install a new clutch.
