Great work Dad ! hope folks realize they are taking up the slack lost to wear, and to really be sure to leave that little bit of slack otherwise they will be burning life off of their clutch which is definitely no good.

My MF-20 (3 cylinder perkins diesel) is just barely able to creep along now even though the engine and hydraulics are running fine. I'm not sure if I just need to adjust the clutch or if I have a worn pressure plate. Is there anyway to tell between one or the other? Thanks.

Not near my tractor to test pedal slop but I can't get my pto into Engine PTO mode without turning the engine off. What causes this? Is it possible I only have a single clutch model?

my pto not work I try to engage him and is not work ?? what s a problem tank you for your help .masey ferguson 35 year 1964 and the shaf not turn

Hello great video, really informative. Im looking to buy a 1967 Massey Ferguson 135 Perkins diesel and while test driving it it grinds when engaging the engine pto you have to basically force it in and when you try to engage the ground pto it grinds and won't engage. Would adjusting the clutch aslo help with this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey farm dad. My 48 fergy, find it hard to tighten 11/16 bolt. Also the square piece where you inserted screw driver. Should it feel springy, when turning to stop play in clutch?

Mine did the same thing. I loosened off the pedal and tried to move the shaft as described. It felt kind of springy and didn't really want to move in any meaningful way. When I tightened the pedal back on to the shaft the clutch isn't engaged at all and the pedal just falls to the floor. Any idea what might have happened?

My tractor also has 2-3 inches play in the clutch paddle, is it ok? 🧐 ori need to fixed it

People can get away with it so long as the clutches are fully engaging, but it's an easy fix and worth doing.

Can't see how you adjust the caluch . You should be more pacific

Great but you didn't adjust the pto, only the transmmisson clutch.

@FarmDad

Жыл бұрын

That's a 2 stage clutch. By adjusting the Freeplay on that pedal, it adjusts the actuation of both stages, one being transmission, other being pto.

You were fortunate to get away with adjusting the clutch pedal only. Clutch pedal adjusting gives correct clutch throw and throw out bearing clearance. As the main clutch wears the clearance between the Primary and the Secondary Pressure Plate increases. That means that the clutch pedal reaches the floor before the PTO clutch releases. Adjust this by 3 setscrews in the Primary pressure plate. WITH ENGINE STOPPED, remove bottom cover plate below the CLUTCH and adjust each setsrew in turn. Turn engine over by hand to get each setscrew at the bottom. On a Massey Ferguson 35 the clearance is 88-92 thousandths of an inch. On a Massey Ferguson 65 the clearance is78-82 thousandths of an inch. Hope this helps.
