It's been a while since I adjusted mine after getting a new disc for it, but I'll give you my two bits. I'm assuming your clutch and flywheel are together in the tractor. You have to back off the lock nut and turn the adjusting screw for each of the three fingers that press against the throw-out bearing until there is just clearance between the fingers and the bearing face. It's hard to work under the tractor in that small opening into the clutch housing so be patient. Try to get the spacing even between the fingers and the face of the bearing so the clutch disengages evenly. Adjust clutch pedal play with the turnbuckle on the clutch rod.

My original adjusting screws had hex heads on them, but the replacement had slots for a flat screwdriver which makes it near impossible to adjust on the tractor. I put the old hex head screws back on so I could adjust it with everything all put together. I've attached a poor picture of the flywheel with the clutch installed and you may be able to see the finger adjusting screws. I hope this helps a little.
