B Clutch Bearing

Anyone who watched my video last week knows about the B's clutch issues.

It engages and releses just fine, but it makes a very loud and very unplesent noise. It went away and then i greased it for good measure, but its back and worse then ever. So its the noise in this video thats impossible to ignore.

I vividly remember someone replyed to one of my questions last summer "And before you put that back together, replace the pilot bearing and check out your clutch bearing"

And i ignored it

And i now have to split the tractor again.

Aw well, should make an interesting video. Ive got B splitting down to a science and i hope i can do this in a weekend.

So two things

1)if theres anyone here young and dumb like me, NEVER ignore those little BTW comments at the bottom of expierenced peoples posts

2)what do i need to replace?? Clutch or piolt bearing?? Im thinking i should do both of them since its gonna be split anyway, and i dont know how long the piolt is going to last

Oh yea and i need to fix a leaking oil pan.

Here goes another pile of money, but i know the tractor is going to be worth every penny in the end. Thats accually whats keeping me going on it now......

The only other possible thing I can think of other than that was posted previously, but you will have to pull the valve pan to check bring #1 cyl to fire position and make sure both valves are closed, at the time mag fires on #1. ???


Cam could be out.

Lanse,get her runnin first.So you can drive it and be sure where the noise is coming from.
I'm rootin for ya.Mark

Thanks!!

If it's all the time, I'd look to the pilot bearing, but if you only hear it when you mash the clutch and it responds to greasing the throwout bearing, that's where I'd put my money. like the man said, though, I'd get it running first.

buy a JD lol

I'd have to say that it's most likely the pilot bearing/bushing whatever the case may be, but it would be best to replace both while you've got it split.
