I am not familiar with your tractor. Hopefully someone here on TBN will be able to assist you in regards to your inquiry. It is not my intention to appear too inquisitive, but are you from Bosnia or a neighboring Country?

I know of the block you describe I dont think it held the pedal down all the way
just down enough to keep the clutch disk from freezing in the flywheel and pressure plate. I personally did not use it and it got ripped off.I would say push the clutch down and you can fee when it disengages and then measur ethe block from there..

I have the one that came with my 1920. I could give you those dimensions if you want.
let me know

Zeljko,

There is nothing special about the wood block and it's dimension. Any scrap piece wood block about 3 to 4 cm in thickness will do the job. I'm using a piece of 2"x4" dimensional lumber that is used in U.S for house framing unlike Europe.

Merry Christmas to you as well

I use a block that is 1 3/8" X 1 3/8" (35mm X 35mm) on my 1715 and it works fine. I looked in the operators manual and was not able to find any mention of a string, I just remove mine and carry it in a small box that I have mounted to the rear fender of the tractor.

What is this block spacer used for. I've got a NH TC30 - shibara motor and other similar parts I think. What is the concern?

During tractor storage, specially for a long period the moisture developed due to condensation on the surface of pressure plate or flywheel might help to accelerate some minimal surface rusting. This rusting will go away real quickly as the tractor starts and along a few clutching / changing gear or direction.

On occasions pressure of the mating part caused by pressure plate and combination explained above tends to fuse (stick) the pieces together where clutching does not disengage clutch/transmission. blocking the clutch pedal helps to alleviate the problem. Blocking separates component a bit.
