Deere 5500 Clutch Adjustment / Service Manual

[adc8693]

Does anyone have a link for a service manual for a JD 5500? I used to be about to find one free to view with a simple google search. Cannot see to find one now.

Or can anyone tell me how to adjust the clutch? is it just a pedal adjustment? Seems it is occasionally slipping now when letting off the pedal under load. (I know I overheated heated the clutch trying to get my other tractor out of a bad spot, so I know it took some wear)

Thanks for the help.

Clutch adjustment depends on which transmission you have.
Collar shift and TSS (same procedure to adjust) OR Reverser different procedure to adjust).
Post your transmission type.

It's the 9 speed synchronized. No reverser. I'm guessing I just shorten the linkage?

Yes, assuming you have a dry clutch transmission.

Thankyou I think there is a little plate on the side

Does anyone know how to adjust a clutch in a5500 john deere I think there is a little plate to take of and there is a screw which way to go so hopefully the clutch doesn't slip

It's not complicated. There is a tin cover over the transmission. Remove four bolts and the cover. This will expose the rod and clevis that needs to be adjusted. Remove the pin, unscrew the clevis a couple turns at a time until you achieve an inch or so of free play on the pedal. If that solves your problem, then you're good for a while. If you still have clutch problems, adjustment may not be the answer, so maybe you should plan on a clutch replacement.
