You’re definitely no idiot. Speak only positively about yourself. You’re a nice guy that is giving it your best, and that’s what counts! You are probably correct on thinking that it wasn’t properly adjusted originally, or they road the clutch in the past. I’ve noticed in some farm videos where guys will drop a ripper or chisel all the way down and let out off the clutch and it makes me cringe. I personally never touch the clutch while the implements in the ground unless it’s an emergency. I make sure the tractor is rolling and is near proper rpm before I set the tool down, and I raise it up and throttle down before clutching. Clutching in full pull mode is a sure fire way to smoke any clutch. I don’t think the average person realizes how much heat is created when the clutch is improperly used or out of adjustment and how much it shortens its life.

Great video JT just a bit of advice get some long bolts the same thread as flywheel bolts, cut of the heads then screw into the flywheel to use as a alignment guide and to carry the weight. Hope the advice helps and luv your videos cheers. Australia.

Guide studs for install get some extra long bolts cut off heads and she will slip right on. Done that many times on all kinds of equipment.

I dont know if you read comments or not but I'm pretty sure if you turn that style flywheel you need to have the outer ring that the pressure plate bolts to turned also cause it will change the depth inside your flywheel and you will loose adjustment. Just something to check into dont take my word for it

If that setup is just like a typical semi, I would also replace the clutch brake thats on the input shaft of the trans. I always check the input for wear along with excessive play on the input shaft bearing in the trans as well. For adjusting the clutches i use a really long 5/16" bolt 6 or 7" long and stick it between the throwout bearing and the clutch break to set the adjustment on the clutch. But most times when installing a clutch on a freshly ground flywheel, it will end up being pretty close but not always. I use a prybar or a prop rod to hold the pedal down when adjusting the clutch. Just sucks to have to get out to release the clutch pedal lol. Depending on what you want to spend there is a self adjusting clutch setup out there that you could install and never have to worry about adjusting it yourself again until the clutch wears out but they're most expensive.

There are no Steiger tractors here in Ireland

When the flywheel has a bolt pattern that only allows it to mount in one position, it’s an externally balanced engine? When a neighbor started running a Versatile in the 80’s, they’d commented that Versatile recommended the proper working gear was what the tractor would pull at an idle with the implement in the ground and working speed was WOT. That saved clutch wear because you’d never use your clutch for turns…. Their engines didn’t need higher rpm like the JD did.

I did a lot of on line research on it and almost everyone did it via dropping the trans so I just went that route. Seemed like the smoother way to go
