FarmPro 2430 4x4 (Jinma 304)
Problem: PTO Grind when using clutch, Drive clutch working, no slippage, pedal catches at top.
1st; I Adjust Stop Bolt & Clutch rod, very little relief of PTO grinding (Rod was bent a little)
2nd; Remove Plate to access clutch & adjust, starting with PTO
All 3 PTO nuts have 0.160 +/- gap & all 3 Clutch fingers have 0.200 +/- gap; Pic of PTO nuts before adjust
Is pressure plate gap right ?
3rd; Adjust PTO nuts & lock at 0.035; Pic after adjust Notice arrow to pressure plate gap
Here is where failure hit's me in the keister,
After PTO adjust, fingers are now against throw out bearing & will not adjust; 2 Pics of finger adjust bolt before adjust
Notice the lock washer, That should not be there ?
The other 2 nuts were locked on pressure plate, they should have been on finger, right ?
Can not get fingers to adjust off bearing now
OK, help needed
Are inside adjustments done with clutch rod attached or not ?
All this was done with adjust rod off clutch arm
Is gap between plates right ? Pics in other threads look wider to me
Is 300 series Jinma same adjust specs as 200 series ?
I'm gonna loosen everything (PTO) back to see if I can get any finger adjustment
Looking at the adjust nuts condition & the gaps, I think someone butchered this adjustment,
I bought this tractor from a dealer in Ohio, & other than some minor snags, has been OK, in fact I was happy until now
