562 Belarus

[ed borrson]

The 4 wheel drive on my 562 Belarus has started slipping . The clutch is good and strong for the whole tractor but when I put the tractor in full four wheel it will work for a while then starts to slip after about 15 minutes of use .I did try to adjust the linkage but still will slip

Slip clutch needs adjusted up some. Its in the bearing housing between the drive shafts. One of the U joint flanges has to come off to get at adjusting nut. Manual gives the torque specs.

Vapet is correct.I believe you pull the rear flange down,4 bolts,then you will see a castleated nut.Pull out the cotter pin and tighten.I believe we used to tighten to around a 100ft.lbs,but you better double check the spec.It tightens up the clutch pack in the bearing housing.Very simple,only takes a few minutes.Also check the gear oil level in there.There's a small level/fill plug on it,gear oil.

Hi
on the later tractors (825/862) we used to tighten the slip clutch nut to about 55 or 60 ish ft lbs. you still want that clutch to slip a little. if it doesn't you run the risk of breaking the hubs or bevel gears in the angle drives. Thats what our 5270 is running for a setting now with the 13" wide front tires on. The last one I fixed for a customer the shafts where about $500 the pair.
also if it's been slipping a long while you can wear the friction discs out and then the unit needs a re build. Tighten it and see what happens. Ive seen guys tighten them so tight and they still slip cause the discs are shot

I haven t had a chace to look at that clutch pack yet . I should of added that I could get the tractor to 4 wheel when it starts to slip buy pulling up on the lever that puts it in 4 wheel . I tighten that linkage before and now noticed it is loose again. What does that kick in ?

There are 3 positions for the linkage when adjusted correctly.Down is 2wd,pull up to the next notch and that is automatic engagement when the rear wheels start spinning,only works going forward.When you pull the lever all the way up to the 3rd notch,that locks the 4wd in full time.
