I might have mentioned this before, when I first split the tractor.... but there are no 1/4 inch holes to thread the compressing screws into- not in a spring hole, none of them, how else would this pack come appart?

Hi Tony,
Have seen some early "Ferguson" 35 dual clutch assemblies, without the holes in the cover to "clamp" the assembly. These have the release levers, rather than the fingers, with adjustable bolts. Never seen a later dual clutch assembly, with the adjustable bolts, less the drillings in the cover, though. Again, you something special there, ol son!
Principal is the same though. You may need to remove every second 5/16" retaining bolt from the assembly, and replace it with a slightly longer bolt. This will enable you to "release" the pressure from the assembly, without it "jumping" into your lap, as it comes away from the flywheel.
Can U post a pic?)

Gidday mate. You are so lucky you live on an island far away.... or all this stuff would show up in front of your shop door... or is your shop like mine? No doors, no walls, no roof... very organic and green friendly??? Not people friendly tho eh? So perhaps the 3 large bolts would come out, one at a time? Get replaced with longer ones...with a nut to take the pressure? like the 1/4" ones do? then put these back when done.... oh cranky.... are you following my Standard diesel adventure on the Harry Ferguson page? You will need a couple castlmaines after that read....

Hi Tony,
This is not a dual clutch unit. The inner splined hub is attached by rivets to the cover so has to constantly turn with the engine. You will not need slave bolts. Assuming that this cover is correct, your tractor should have an independant PTO. Or might it just be possible that it does not have a pto?
When undoing these bolts you will only have the spring pressure on the main drive plate to worry about. Undo the bolts slowly and evenly and I'm pretty sure that you will lose all spring pressure before it drops in your lap as Evan puts it.
A check on whether you have IPTO or even a pto shaft might be a good idea. Normally there are only two positions on the engagement lever as opposed to three for the engine and ground speeds.
Cheers

I thought I must have had a few too many "Castlemaines" when I saw the pic!
Yep, that definitely not a dual clutch assembly. As David said, by slowly undoing the bolts evenly, the spring pressure will be released by the time you reach the end of the threads.

David... once again you win the cigar. Evan was close, he wins the box of matches. I flipped thru the I&T manual, and there was the cartoon, and a paragragh on IPTO's. It is riveted as you said, and the leaky PTO shaft is there, and- what is funny, I noticed when I took this home... the plate for the pto lever, which feels like 3 position, has no printing. First MF I ever saw with no markings on the porthole. Not sure if I ever saw one with ind pto either. This all looks very new, I don't know if I should bother getting into it, one adjusting nut was off, but it is finger tight, so I will locktite them- no locking nuts on this model either.... after I find a height. It refers to a tool # in the manual, 2 are 1.256, I assume if we can't find a better number, I will just put all 3 at that.

Hi Tony,
The actual height is not critical but that they are all the same is. Unless you have a depth gauge or vernier caliper with the depth feeler attached it would be worth making a setting gauge to ensure that all are the same.
