jinma 224 clutch adjustment

[TSMART]

OK...so exactly where is it that I can see into the clutch to see the fingers?

Theres the plate on the clutch pedal side, above the yoke as I mentioned.
Theres another one, but much bigger on the accelerator pedal side also.

I have checked a lot of pics out but can't find it tho I must be looking right at it.

I bought feeler gages to check out the space between the plate and the fingers. Auto parts store had nothing in the .08 size, they said i must gang several together to add up to the correct .10-.12 gap.

Please note that for every 5 minute question I ask I spend at least an hour investigating on line so I dont ask dumb questions. I even checked out ctoa, no pics of this plate there, tho there is a complete description of how to adjust clutch.

Our Jinma dealer closed a year ago so I am on my own. Local Kubota and MF dealers seem very disinterested in helping me out.

Again, thanks for your help.
Thanks.

...the stop bolt has nothing to do with it.

True, in that the stop bolt may have nothing to do with his stated problem. But depending upon the nature of the corrective adjustment(s), the stop bolt may have to adjusted at the end. Too much pedal is hard on the springs, not enough pedal and the PTO clutch won't completely disengage. Plus, proper pedal adjustment doesn't favor one clutch or the other. In the end you want the first half of the pedal travel to be PTO, the second half to be main drive.

I thought you were describing the inspection window, sorry. Do you by any chance have a front end loader installed? If yes, then those windows are underneath where the loader mounts attach to the bellhousing. It's handier to work from both sides, but not mandatory. You can drop one loader mount to expose the window.

The inspection windows are under both part #10s. One right, one left. In this diagram, they're not vented. In fact, the covers may not even be installed under your loader mounts.

And you may find it difficult to get a conventional feeler gauge to work. I use a piece of heavy gauge wire of the appropriate thickness.
