    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    I totally understand! I would love to find the exact reason why it’s not working. And if I had someone work on mine and got it back and it was shimmed I would probably be ------. Due to the time crunch I’m going to try it. Once I get spring under control around here I may take it apart again and...

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    I got the whole assembly from here. I took it all out yesterday and measured and the old clutch is the same thickness as the new and the pressure plate was the same as well. I was talking to a guy at the local shop and he suggested the same thing with the wrong size clutch. But everything...

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    Well I made up for the 1/8inch by shimming the pressure plate. I have a bunch of adjustment now and it contacts it perfectly. I took it all apart again today and measured all the parts to make sure Hey we’re the same size. The fingers were 1 7/8ths from the flywheel so I shimmer it to get it...

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    Thinking on this further, I never checked my flywheel thickness. I guess it’s a possibility that with the new clutch and the older flywheel (of unknown thickness) that could be causing my fingers to go in slightly further. The bolts on the pressure plate weren’t too hard to get started, but...

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    Happy Easter everyone! I got a little time this afternoon to work on the ol’ 8n. I used the technique Hobo talked about in determining the fork status. The fork is not moving on the shaft at all. When I wedged some wood between the fork and the throw out bearing, and diesengaged the clutch I...

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    That’s what I’m kind of Thinking. It’s becoming the only possibility. I believe the clutch is fine. Im starting to doubt the pressure plate.

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    I didn’t compare the new fingers to old because the old were rusted stuck in their position. The only way I can was able to decrease the distance is loosen the pressure plate. I almost thought of cramming washers behind it haha.

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    I will check it, it looked like it was moving with it. But maybe it’s cracked or that pin is broken.

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    Here it is adjusted to the max with the pedal not depressed This is it with the pedal depressed as far as it could go through the floorboard. Does the fork look like it should in this picture? Here are some more...

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    I got it back together and still nothing. Adjusted it as far as I could go and took the floor board off and it barely contacted it. Didn’t contact it enough to free the pto. I’m going to take the steering box off this weekend and look at it. I’m learning patience with this project.

    Adjusting Pressure Plate Fingers

    Thanks dollar bill! When I measured it I got 1 7/8ths for the measurement. It’s not 2 inches like it’s supposed to be but it’s non adjustable. I’m going to remove the steering box to view it better when I get it back together.
