I am currently in the process of performing an overhaul on the dual clutch on my 1997 Ford/New Holland 1720. The reason for the overhaul is because the transmission clutch engagement point was just at the end of the throw of the pedal so I assumed that the clutch was worn (I did adjust it externally as much as possible).
I now have the tractor split and the clutch removed. I have not yet measured the disc to see how worn it is. My question is how many parts should I replace; I don't want to open it up for another 24 years if possible!
Do I just buy new clutch discs, or should I replace the spring for each clutch as well? I don't mind spending the extra money if it is the right thing to do. If I should replace the disc, spring, and have the pressure plates resurfaced, I feel like I might as well just buy an entire remanufactured assembly from Messick's since the price will be nearly the same. Thanks in advance for helping out a rookie!
