The clutch on my 66 Ford 2000 would not disengage , i adjusted it as per manual and it was a bit better so i set the pedal higher and it worked great for a while and now nothing again. Any suggestions or advise would be appreciated. Paul

leave it blocked overnight and check it again. ps.. don't remove all freeplay or the lil fingers will wear off!

if after leaving blocked all night it is better.. you may have a bit of an oily clutch.. plan on blocking it when not in use. and check the weep hole witht he cotter pin at the bottom of the bellhousing.. make sure it is open to drain.

Thank you soundguy i will give it a try this morning.

Tried blocking clutch overnight but it was -15c (+5f) out, still didn't work so it is now in the shop with the block in. We will see what happens.

Cotter pin in bellhousing is dry and moves freely.

Ya might try getting someone to pull you. Push the clutch in while they pull sometimes that will make it release.

rig up a trans neuitral safety bypass wire and set in the seat, fuel off, brakes locked, and in high gear/range.. have a pto load on it and pto engaged if you can.

just keep bumping engine over .. one bump at a time.. .. keep clutch blocked the entire time.

you will feel it lurch each time you bump it. generally they will pop free..

just to be clear i use the tractor almost daily, I isnt stuck from sitting, Seemed to work for a bit after i tightened the linkage but not for long.

 

[paulatcrag]

I tried bumping as soundguy suggested nothing, it has been in a warm shop clutch blocked , nothing. The pedal doesnt seem to have enough travel anymoe to disengage clutch. Read somewear there could be a bolt sheared off? sound familiar anyone?

 

[soundguy]

make sur ethat when you press the pedal that the shaft going into the bellhousing is actually turning.

past that.. may be time to pull the steering box for a looksee

 

[paulatcrag]

Checked the cross shaft and it is rotating both sides. I thought i would need to split the tractor to get a look. If i pull the steering box can i get at the linkage?

 

[soundguy]

look .. yes.. can't really do much other tahn observe though.. still.. look is better than no look i guess..

Here are a couple photos looking under steering box,

here is what i found in the bottom of the bellhousing,

http://s1103.beta.photobucket.com/user/ ... 3447306385

this it looks like one of the adjusters off the clutch just not as worn as the other 2. its a bit fuzzy but the threads appear to be toast

 

[soundguy]

missin finger bolts eh?

 

[paulatcrag]

looks like one is missing 2 are very worn, could this be my issue, do i need to split ? i am most of the way there now, any suggestions? if i do split is it worth changing clutch, throw out bearing, seals etc...? Paul

 

[soundguy]

looks like freeplay setting was possibly incorrect..

probably getting no clutching movement witht he wear. actuate it manually and see.

When your looking at the picture on Photobucket, left click under it where it says "IMG". When you do that you'll see it says "copied". Then come here, right click and choose "paste".
Good luck.
