Allis CA Hand Clutch

[mrf-engines]

Hello all, I am relatively new to AC tractors, having been primarily working on Farmall's. I am looking at a CA that the hand clutch has been disabled/removed at some point. How common are the parts and how expensive do the parts typically run to put it back in working order? I do not know how much of it is still on the tractor, and what is how good of shape it is in, I would assume at this point that it all needs to be reworked/replaced.

Thank you for the information.

The hand clutch parts are like finding hens teeth and that is why many have been bolted up

AFAIK it"s about $600 to fix the guts if you can find them.

What was so problematic about theseset ups? Tbe friction disk is $90 from one of my suppliers. This site doesn't offer them.what else wears out in them? I ask because I really want a CA and am wondering what problems ill have.

They are a dry disk set up and are pretty jerky,nothing like the smooth operation of the oil bath clutches used in a WD/WD45 or the D14-D19.Still better than not being able to stop the tractor without stopping the PTO.If you take yours out check the shaft the disk is on as they have a habit of wearing a groove and won't engaged right if they have too much of a groove.
