3010 gettin split

[bigfatricky]

New clutch going in, anything else to inspect/repair while they're in there? I know about the pto fix b ut don't know if I can explain it to the feller that is doing the work. Is there anything else?

I'm sure this has been covered, so I apologize for not searching hard and long. I'm haying and have zero extra time right now after the 16 hour days.

thanks to all,

erik

The PTO "thing" is not in the same split as the clutch,,that happens in the next split back, as for the clutch area I like to change the rear main seal and the clutch shaft seal while I'm in there. What is the actual reason for the clutch split ?

 

[bigfatricky]

I have yet to find out the reason. No resistance in the clutch pedal, it is as if it is stuck in the disengaged position. Park works, all other gears are neutral.

Dealer declared the split necessary, though they weren't able to say exactly what was happening. What do you all think?

Will it rake some gears when you try to shift it?? Wondering if the clutch center had sheared out of it some how,,wimpy clutch springs will at "least" rake the gears a bit or let it try to move the tractor a little,,did the clutch adjusting bolt come loose by chance, it's on the pedal in behind the left battery box, if it came loose the pedal would be wimpy and the clutch would "not" engage, I have never seen that happen before,,but it's possible ...

It won't rake gears, bolt is fine on pedal. It won't move at all, no way.

I guess I'll find out this week when they tear into it.

I agree with Tim S, replace the rear main seal.

Rear main seal and check the ring gear on the flywheel for chewed up teeth. This is the time to replace if needed.
