If you've got your clutch freeplay in the
1-1/8" range that George set you up on, and things are working right, you've got her licked.

Loaded tires and the like will make your tractor feel heavier on the clutch but, in the end, she'll be right.

You mention a grinding, which could be matter of rivets in the clutch facing grinding against the flywheel or the pressure plate, but I think that's a remote possibility. (If it is the case, yes, you need a new clutch disc, and as long as you've got the tractor split, you might just as well adjust or replace the cover and pressure plate. More likely it's the gears in the tranny running up against themselves. A Farmall thing, not to worry.

Please do remember that theese trannies are not synchromeshed. The only way to put the old darlings into ANY gear is to stop, clutch, and let the driveshaft come to a rest before going into gear. Except that that last little crunch before going into any gear is a given on these tractors if you haven't held the clutch pedal down long enough. Pick any gear you want, but don't harbor any notions of shifting up through the gears. At least quietly.

Bottom line . . . If your freeplay is alright at the pedal and she goes ahead under a load okay, you're fine. If, in getting the freeplay right, you found yourself running out of thread, then replacing at least the disc and, as long as it's split and you're in there, the pressure plate/cover is the route to take. If she's holding fine where you are with some room for further wear, I'd say don't touch a thing after you've got the freeplay where you're happy with it.

I hope I've helped.
