I bought a 1310 Ford with a blown clutch. The throw out brg had eaten out the three fingers on the pressure plate.The bearing was NOT froze up. I have since replaced the clutch assembly, twice and it has done the same thing within 25 or so hours, both times. It had plenty of free play ( 3/4 to 1 inch). Ford tractor in Tucson has been no help in possible causes. The parts weren't OEM they came from All States AG parts. Any ideas? I've been turning wrenches for wages on different things, for over forty years and haven't ever run across anything like this. Do they make a full spring diaphram pressure plate instead of a 3 finger one?
