Oh, I see, you aren't planning on splitting it at all. I'm sure that now the disc is saturated with oil that it won't ever be right without replacement.   [Reply]  [No Email]

If your going that far you might as well replace them. You can have them for the cost of postage.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I cleaned the disc best I could from the inspection hole with brake clean and adjusted the clutch as per the IT manual. The owner does not want to go the the expense of a seal change, so I am going to change out the trans oil because it is very milky (and THIN). I told him we will leave the oil level a tick low and not to park it in a down hill position and NEVER plug that hole again. Thanks for all the help from everyone.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Depending on what is wrong with your Clutch and what it is doing, it could be only adjustment that is needed....John(UK)..fergusontractors@hotmail.com   [Reply]  [No Email]

You may want to try adjusting the pedal as that does change over time.To find the archives just back up to all the subjects and its up top then type in clutch replacement.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd be interested in an original. I am looking at splitting my TO35 and I wondered what the difference was between the different clutch options listed, or does it depend on what I find when I get mine apart?   [Reply]  [No Email]

It will depend on what you find when you get it out of the tractor. If the problem is with the PTO Clutch only, you can re-set this if it isn't too worn. If things are really bad and the Clutch has been used for some time with the Plates worn, it may have marked the Flywheel and that would require skimming to restore the surface again. If you need the info about this, or how to replace the Clutch and re-set it, email me and I will send it...John(UK)...fergusontractors@hotmail.com   [Reply]  [No Email]

Tractor splitting has been covered a lot on YT so I'm not going to cover it. I would suggest that you get a service manual before starting. I have a used copy for $25. When you have the tractor apart you will need to remove the pressure plate, clutch disk, and flywheel. To change and or inspect the pto clutch disc you will need to further disassemble the pressure plate. The flywheel will need to be inspected to insure that it is in good condition. While you have it apart inspect the throw out bearing and transmission seal for leaks. Replace the throw out bearing, might as welldo it while everything is apart. To put back together a clutch alignment tool will be needed. I have used parts to help if you need them. 802-782-2409   [Reply]  [No Email]
