Hi All
Just wanted to tell every one that I had to adjust my main clutch today, (380 hrs) lots of rough service since new. it still has some play left but is getting near it's lifes end per the adjustments left. I have all new parts to replace it so I'm not all that worried but it seems the OLD clutch disk (wear material) is not more than 100 thou thinner than the NEW one!? not sure if this feels right seems to me there should be a lot more clutch engagement with the amount of material left. anyone have any suggestions on min thickness and also does anyone have an actual specifications as to the min thickness of the clutch disk? I don't know HOW I could measure it with it installed accurately but just by stacking feeler gauges is where I came up with the ~ 100 though wear.
anyhow I didn't remember the camera so No good pics other than ones posted I took years ago that are on JohnS's web site.
