Farm Pro 2425 Clutch

[Ranch_Hand_Supp]

Ed B,

Here is a link showing a 254LE... same as Farmpro 2425 [series] split for a clutch repair. this will give you a idea. The first 3 pic's.

That ATV jack may just keep the front half from rocking and give you some up and down adjustments aswell [you want have to wedge with wood]? I made a cradle for the shop.

We just use a couple cold chisels, one on each side between the stops for the pivot of the axle, one floor jack under the oil pan the other under the tranmsission, but the ATV jack iw a good idea, and might be handier to have around than a second floor jack if you have an atv!

Oh, ok I get it. To keep it from going side to side on the front axel pivot. I had the front rotating over the front axles.

Yeah I have an ATV anyhow, and like I said the price is right for the jack. Should I be pulling the back away from the front or vice-versa, or doesn't it make a difference?

It would seem that I would want to pull the back out and roll it to the front because I can turn the tranny shaft to line up with the clutch splines. Accurate assesment?

Its a little tricky to line up the splines, you have 2 sets, one for the trans and one for the PTO. You can add a half a driveshaft on the PTO and put it in gear to get that one (first) then turn the engine and or put the tractor in gear to line up the main splines. The nice thing about blocking the front and pulling off teh back is you have nice big tires and lots of leverage to push against.

Still waiting on the ATV jack. Does anyone know if the clurch kit comes with a pilot shaft?

Thans for the help so far guys.

Boy this sounds like a problem I've heard about before. I think Chip already posted something to the effect about the clutch disk shearing the rivits off, the disk then simply spins inside the clutch housing, possab;ly as mentioned wedging the PTO but every thing seems to move. what is odd is the LACK of clutch feel you mentioned. maybe I miss read that?

anyhow at 300 hrs, I have to adjust my MAIN clutch soon. biggest reason is I JUST had 80 ton of compactable sand/gravel wash delivered wensday and been moving it into the pole barn yesterday & today, lots of clutching & shifting & unfortuneatly slipping. she is pretty much slipped out I think. The pole barn I have has a row of center divider poles on the 20 foot and 10 feet appart, (barn is 50 by 40) I can turn the 284 with ZL20 fel loaded up and 6 foot box blade on back for ballast through the 10 x 8 roll up door not yet tore up any poles (KNOCK ON WOOD FOR ME SO I DON'T HAVE TOO lol ) I did manage a few bumps here & there and ALMOST crushed the door track rolling backwards too quickly. Just acn't stand to run it in the low high setup too slow going in Revers, would be great if I had shuuttle shift. but I don't. I still have probably 20 ton on the ground 50' outside the roll up. Have to back fill under the 12 x 50 lean too yet. and may have to get a good 20 ton more sand mix.?

I'm here looking for the link to that post I did about adjusting the PTO and MAIN clutch free play to re-read it over to make adjusting the main clutch easier and fresher in my mind. got to get over to JOHN S's site & print that out .

hope it goes well & post back for all us wanna be farmers to read up on LOL

Hello all and thanks for the advice so far. Still waiting on the ATV jack.

I did get the FEL off and got it in the garage so, I started taking off the stuff on the back that is connected to the front. Driveshaft to front wheels, hydraulic lines, throttle, etc. I figured as long as I had it in the garage that I would change the fluids. After seeing what came out of the tranny I am going to fluush too. (I know Greg).

After draining the tranny I took off the creeper and tranny covers, everything looks fine nothing broken.

After getting the FEL off I got a good look inside. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the the rivet shearing gremlin got the main clutch disc.

Anyway. Electrical connections. I am not too swift when it comes to wiring. Where's the plug(s)? Help, please?

P.S. I would have taken some shots of the ordeal but my kid has the digital camera.

You just addressed a 6 year old topic. I think you'd get more helpful response if you started a new one - specific to your current issue. Back up one level to the Chinese Tractor section, then click on New Thread.
