So this Montana tractor 3040 seems to have the clutch hanging....its obvious since the owner of the tractor has broken the F-R shift shuttle by forcing it into gear .
elsewhere in this forum Ive posted how to remove this broken shift shaft with out splitting the tractor. top and out procedure (it is not in any books)
So I'm asking what is the best chemical to spray on this disk to remove oil........the Montana 3040... has 1 port atop the bell and 1 drain and rubber plug at the base of the bell so I'm rest assured the chemical can escape.
This clutch is adjusted full there is no free-play and the clutch still continues to drag the motor even when bucket is against the cement wall in forward gear. its acting like a clutch but not releasing fully.
Me personally I'm hedging on using Brake cleaner in the spray can with the engine off and clutch depressed full. But Ive heard some guys swear acetone works the best and evaporates fully.
I don't want this disk to swell anymore. The true nature of the clutch is to allow the internals of the trans to separate from the engine so shifting can be done easily without force.
what is the best chemical to use?
