clutch not working

[zozep]

Hey there,

my 276D is having some clutch issues

I can fire it up and it will idle, both Neutral on the trans. and on the Powershifter. The PTO will turn and go into idle ok.

I push the clutch in all the way, put it into any gear on the trans. and it will start to move.

Any ideas? Its long overdue for a fluid change.

My first idea is to change the fluid.....

And clean the hydraulic filter screen !

It seems like you're saying the clutch doesn't disengage all the way. You might try greasing the clutch release bearing, and making sure the clutch pedal is adjusted correctly-maybe 1/2" to 3/4" of free play.

Also a remote possibility your return springs could be broken or loose. #21 on figure 43. I believe there are 2 of them. http://downloads.pfgaustralia.com.au/intranetwebcache/Parts/Parts Manuals/Yanmar/Y00T2321.pdf

Basically, depressing the clutch doesnt seem to do anything... with everything in Neutral, I depress the clutch to put the transmission in whatever gear 1, 2 or 3 and even with the powershift lever in N the tractor will start to move. The only way to get it to stop is to pop the transmission back into N.
I just hope its nothing serious... the thing has been working great since i've had it.

What a great resource!! Thanks for this! I've been avoiding buying the overpriced manual from my local tractor store, they want like 150 for it... are there any other online pdfs for my tractor that you know of?

Sounds like the disc is stuck to the pressure plate or flywheel by rust or its not releasing due to adjustment or mechanical defect in the linkage or bad pressure plate.

I have seen cars/trucks with seized pilot bearings/bushings and that locks the input shaft to the crank and acts the same way as this is acting.

Maybe even the throw out bearing is so bad it isn't contacting the pressure plate the pedal would feel funny does it feel odd or different?

Jerking it around with a load on with the throttle with the clutch pedal down may break it loose also if its just a stuck clutch plate. Using the clutch pedal lock will make this task easier and for that matter leaving it locked down a few days may help too.

I personally dont use my pedal lock but in Japan they had to because of the water they operated these in.



Any one of these scenarios except jerking the plate loose under a load means splitting the tractor sorry but its not as bad as it seems.

Don't know of any free ones but here is what looks like a reasonable repair manual. Instant Mini Setｮ Download

Ok..... Turn on the PTO.

Does the PTO stop turning when you push in the clutch ?
