    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Good point. I'll give it a try.

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Yes, my manuals said 6 gallons for the transmission, but this time we put the hydraulic oil in slowly. We started with just three gallons, then added another gallon when the dipstick showed nothing. I don't recall where we stopped, but it was just a bit less than 5 gallons, even though we had...

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Hmm... the leak is so bad that it leaves a trail of closely spaced oil drops when it is in motion. The thing is, we replaced the oil seal on the engine side of the clutch section, and we are absolutely certain that we got it in correctly. For the moment, our best guess is that we somehow...

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    It’s been a while since I reported my progress splitting the Ferguson TO-30 to replace the leaking oil seal. It seemed at each point that I didn’t want leave you with a cliff-hanger, so I have waited until now to tell the whole tale. We successfully split the tractor, then, after some...

    Thanks much for that, Mr. Farmer (or should I just call you "Mad"?) I have already ordered the parts book, but it's good to have a computer version as well.

    Yes, I found that parts book here and I am definitely buying it.

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Your criticism is not at all too harsh; I screwed up big time. I went through the list of clutch disks, examining each photograph carefully. One and only one disk looked similar to my old one; the others all looked substantially different, because of those springs. I therefore did not bother...

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Jim.ME: "Did you call and ask about the possibility they have a solid clutch disc not shown online?" Uh, gee, that never occurred to me. I think I'd rather email my question to them, as emails don't get lost. That will also lay the groundwork for returning the unfitting clutch disk. "I see a...

    I searched eBay and there is no clutch disk there with a 1 3/8" socket. It looks as if I have no choice in this matter.

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Well, I received the new clutch disk and alignment tool today, which was surprisingly fast. Alas, the new clutch disk is not compatible with my tractor. I went back through the parts listing and there is no clutch disk on sale here that will fit my tractor. The new disk has a 1 1/8" socket...

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    OK, I have ordered the new clutch disk and alignment tool. I won't be doing anything for another week until the parts arrive.

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll go ahead and order a new clutch and the alignment tool on Monday morning. However, I decided to examine that clutch disk more closely. Here are two photos showing its condition: I also decided to measure ALL the rivet depths. I used electronic calipers for...

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    Huzzah! We got the seal and flywheel mounted, but I stopped before mounting the clutch disk and spring assembly, because I continue to worry about the wear on the clutch disk. The only mention I found anywhere was something that said that you don't want the rivets to be exposed, as they'll ruin...

    Amateur Hour: TO-30 splitting

    I'm curious about how to measure the wear on the clutch disk. How thicks should it be? I would expect that a simple statement of its thickness would suffice; the lining on brake shoes is made of the same stuff, and usually you can look up the minimum thickness. But I could find no such...

    Ah, so! That solves my confusion. I couldn't figure out what they were talking about. Thanks.
