MJ in the UK said: (quoted from post at 03:02:43 06/12/09) Yes Hugh you are right, last weekend i was at a big tractor show in Yorkshire and JB2 met up with me. We had a good chat but i had to leave him as i was doing the commentry for the ring parade. About 450 tractors attended starting with the real old ones including 1897 Hornsby Ackroyd, 1903 Ivel and a 1912 Fairbanks Morse. Coming to the clutch problem take the cover off the bottom of the clutch housig. Now get some one to push the clutch pedal down to the bottom and you will see if the second stage of teh clutch is working. If the clutch pressure plate for the PTO clutch dose not move adjust the 3 bolt heads arround the outside of the PTO clutch pressure plate to get the PTO clutch to work. With your foot off the clutch the clearence under the adjusting bolt heads should be 080 th inch or the thickness of a Lucas ignition key. MJ
MJ:
I really did not have time today to look at the clutch solution you proposed, but I couldn't help myself. I put everything else on hold and just went out to just have a look. I took off the quarter-moon shaped plate and saw the wrong side of the flywheel. You couldn't have meant the large rectangular plate on the bottom with the heavy gasket, but you did and it was not filled with oil as I had presumed. Adjustment gap was 4 times the .080 spec and a screwdriver blade inserted showed the plate moving when the clutch was pressed. Adjustments made, clutch working as designed, screws dropped in grass found, plates re-installed and tractor is ready to cut the grass on the runway. Better get back to work!
Thanks again to all who responded and Farmer John was correct, it does take a lot of pedal effort to engage the second clutch.
