1952 Case DC 4 Tractor Hand Clutch Engage Problem

My 1952 Case DC 4 tractor's hand clutch lever will not move forward far enough to snap into place to engage the clutch as normal. When I hold the handle forward the clutch engages. However, as soon as I let go of the hand lever the clutch disengages. It appears the clutch lever travels half of the normal distance then stops before it snaps into place. Any assistance to diagnosis my clutch issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dale

If this condition occurred gradually over a period of time, the clutch is likely out of adjustment. If it happened all of a sudden, it was likely caused by one of the pins in the over-center linkages falling out. Removing inspection plate on side should allow you to determine cause.

I have a vague recollection that on the old Case S there is a plate opn the left side of the flywheel that you take off and reach in to adjust the clutch, but I wouldn't start on it without better information. Also, is there a threaded rod on the hand clutch mechanism that you can adjust? You probably could get a better answer over on the case board.

You're right about taking that cover off. There is a special tool that you have to use,just a piece of straight strap iron with little U shaped bend in the end. We had one here,but I haven't seen it in years and don't even remember how it worked. I know you used that tool for leverage to hold something in while you adjusted it. Not much help I know,but they will act just like that when they are out of adjustment.
