Hi Sibby and others,Around 2 months ago you (Sibby) posted a description on adjusting the pto clutch on a 4 cyl diesel FE35 for me. Well I did it and it works, the pto clutch won't disengage readily although it does with a load on it. 2 of the 3 bolts adjusting bolts were extremely stiff and rusted in. I managed to get the gap to 80 thou' and adjusted the pedal OK. I'll keep slipping the PTO clutch when I use it and maybe it'll free up a bit more over time. Another question if I may be so bold? The starter won't disengage after letting the key return, I have to remove a terminal from the battery to get the starter to stop. I'm loathed to pull the starter out, it looks like a very trickey job, the bolts that hold the starter on are hard to get at with a 1/2 dve socket. Any ideas? The old machine has been running great, it's in pretty poor aesthetic condition but it uses very little fuel (around 6 or 7 litres per hour), doesn't overheat, blows very little smoke (less and less as time goes on), has heaps of grunt and starts alright, albeit with a little aerostart. Thanks for your help everyone. Kind Regards
