Change clutch

[Rich Waugh]

One caution that is often overlooked is to block the front axle so it cannot flop over when the two halves of the tractor are separated. Some chunks of 2x4 will be sufficient, just sip tie them in place between the axle and the frame members and you'll be safe.

If you need parts, Tommy at Affordable Tractor is a great source for them as well as helpful info on the procedures you should follow. You'll definitely want order one of his clutch alignment tools, though if you buy your clutch assembly from him I think he throws one in on the deal. Whatever, it is well worth whatever it costs in order to get the dual stage clutch all aligned to go together properly.

No I understand I have been a millwright for 30 yrs. Just never change a clutch in a tractor,LD1.
All I was asking for was a manual or any help. And when someone starts with " I don't mean to be disrespectful"., they are.

No I really didnt mean to be disrespectful. But over the years, you would be surprised at some of the questions asked like this, by someone who has never turned a wrench a day in their life, dont even know how to change their own oil, and the only tools they have are a $5 crescent wrench set and a $5 pliers set.

To my knowledge, there isnt any manuals with step by step instructions like there is with cars and the haynes/chilton manuals.

If you are indeed a millwright for the last 30 years, I am sure you are more than capable of doing the job right. And since I dont know the specifics of your model, I cannot offer much advise that you need. Only thing I will say, you should change the pilot bearing while you are in there as well, and good luck.

Thanks, I have work on 2000 ton presses, all the way down to 10 tons. Like I said I was hoping tofind some manuals or written instructions. But with the help I can get from here, I can do it.

 

[Rich Waugh]

Absolutely! YOu'll have no issues that can't be resolved with a question or two, if even that. Once you start looking at it, it becomes very little different that addressing a problem on one of those big presses - identify the issue, plan the the steps, execute the plan, adjust as necessary, salt to taste. Serves one.

there are a few sources of information "Johns Tractor Site" (not sure if it still is up) was one where one of our CTOA /TBN users compiled a lot of good information on these simple tractors with photos etc. Not sure if the CTOA is still up with my limited time I lost track of a lot of the people...

Looks like Johns site is still there, better copy what you want tho as I think a few years back he was not going to fund it when the Domain ran out...

some of the LINKS he has here are old and no longer there but a lot is still there... the Parts INFO has a break down still there and bear in mind this was built maybe 10 years ago so if you have a NEW tractor it may not be as accurate but probably similar construction...

I recommend changing the pilot bearing as part of this job also. Once you unbolt the clutch pack from the flywheel, you can see (and remove) the pilot bearing as well. I also recommend that you buy an entire new clutch pack. There are some bench adjustments you have to make to an out-of-the-box replacement. Alternatively they can be done on the flywheel, but I found that to be harder on the back. If you do it that way, don't forget to put the new pilot bearing in first. Once you have your tractor reassembled and back to work, you now have an OE clutchpack on the bench to rebuild at your leisure. When done, stick it on your parts shelf as a hot spare.

Changing a clutch can be a bit of a chore, having a little guidance always makes things come apart and go back together a lot better. You can also call and speak to our mechanic-he has changed his fair share of clutches and is always ready to give any information you might need. and when you are ready for the clutch you can call me and I can get it taken care of for you.
