Hey everyone,
Last fall my 966 started to act like the clutch was going out on it. It had good response and power untill 3 or 4 high. Also, the torque amplifier worked in high and low, but when you put it into high it would seem to slide in. But in 3 or 4 high when you pegged the throttle, the engine would rev up as it should but it was ovbvious I was not going faster... So I just tore it apart and put a new clutch in. It actually had a 14" clutch, i am guessing someone replaced it at one time with a 1066 one... So I put a new clutch, pressure plate and bearings in and got it put back together today and it basically is doing the same thing!!! As you can imagine I am not to happy... All of the clutch, dump valve and TA adjustments are how the book says they should be. I did not change the hydraulic fluid, but it is at the full mark and the tractor is usually kept out of the rain. The hydraulic fluid and filter was changed a year ago. Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on??? I did not resurface the flywheel when I was in there. With the TA acting that way it seems like maybe a MCV problem. I dont know. Thanks for any and all replies!
