SATOH BUCK S-470D release bearing spring.

JJVLS · Jan 23, 2020

SATOH BUCK S-470D.
I"m replacing the clutch. I have it ready to slide back together. When I split it the release bearing return spring was hung up.
When I got it off the bearing did not see where it came off of the Trans tunnel. The manual I have does not show the spring.
There is a hole in the tunnel. But I cannot see any wear spot or hole it should connect to on the tunnel.
So any help is appreciated.

ullinghair: Thanks JV

I can't help you myself, but if you call Valley Power you can probably get the help you need.

Thank you I will call them.

Roadworthy Thanks again.
Big shout out to Valley Power Products. They are some great people.
Called them, their Mechanic was out on lunch. He called about a 1/2 hour after my call. Now I will wait for a new spring
that I ordered from them.

Still can't locate where the spring attaches.
What I'm I getting into dropping the transmission tunnel?

Thanks JV

Well getting the tractor back together. So I'm taking my time and checking things out.
Found left brake frozen. No big deal, pulled drum leaky seal. :banghead: So the question is do you remove
the final drive case and this pushes the seal off?

The manual is not to clear on this.

Thanks in advance for any input.
