SC Footclutch Lining Thickness?

[Christopher Mikesell]

I just pulled the crankshaft out of my 54' SC and would like to know the thickness of the lining on a new clutch disc. I only drove the tractor a small ammount before tearing it down and never put it under a significant load. Thus, I don't know the condition of the clutch. I would like to estimate how much wear is left in the clutch when I disassemble it to remove the flywheel from the crankshaft tomorrow.

i would call it good if you have about 1/8" above rivets. if lining is getting close to rivets time for reline or replacement, check springs and spline also.

Measure any new clutch of about that size. I expect they're all pretty close.

CHECK TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE SPRINGS IN THE PRESSURE PLATE. CONSULT LATE MODEL SERVICE MANUAL.

The thickness of the lining is about 5/32" on each side of the plate, and the height above the rivets is 3/32". The facings on the flywheel and pressure plate look good, and the splines look good too.
