CA Slipping

[Paintjar]

Put an engine and new clutch on. Rear wheels started slipping untill, with little resitance they wont turn. Acts like a slipping clutch. Pulled the rt final drive and checked the hand clutch. All seems to be ok. What"s in the differential. Can something come loose. All I see in my service manual is lock pin to the pinion shaft. Could this have broke off and give the slipping effect to the drive? Never been in a differential. Anyone had this problem? Thanks for any suggestions.

Something may be wrong in the rear but I would start with first things first, and that is to follow the evidence.

Just replaced the clutch...acts like a slipping clutch.....

Don't know much about CA's, but I'm guessing that a manual like the I&T or AC manual would tell you how to set the clutch. Sounds like something isn't right there. I can't think of anything behind the clutch that would cause slipping.

Thanks for the reality check. I think your right. I threw a new disc on but made no adjustment to the release levers. That could be it. Thanks. What would happen if the disc was installed backwards? Thanks again for first things first.

Nothing in the transmission that would slip like that with out racket. Easy check to see which clutch is slipping is to engage the power take off. If the axle clutch is slipping the power take off will keep turning. It the flywheel clutch is slipping the power take off will stop turning.

That would sure save me a headache. Easier for me to remove final drives than separate the motor again. The power take off works fine. Lifts the road blade up and down. All seems to be ok there. No noises. Would I smell anything from the axle clutch getting hot? I have not pulled the clutch assembly out of the final drive yet. Can't make it slip by hand. I need to go there first before engine separation to be sure. Thanks

Not advised but any clutch or brake slipping long enough will stink with smoke.

Thanks Dick. I never let it go long enuff to do that. When it got to the point where the tractor would not move at all I quit trying. Thanks for the help. I am going to pull that axle clutch assy out and see what it says. My main concern was where to go. Not the diff, thank goodness. It is one of the clutchs. Since I just replaced the drive disc I will look at the axle clutch. I did not adjust the release levers on the clutch when replaced. I hope that doesn't bite me.

Just replaced the pressure plate in my G Allis and assumed the new plate was adjusted right. Never assume anything had to remove engine again and found the pressure plate fingers way out of adjustment. Set fingers to spec. re-installed engine and worked like a champ. I suspect your problem is in the pressure plate. But I am wrong lots of time.

Thanks. Could very well be. There is enuff clutch to turn the PTO but maybe not enuff to turn the wells. Double work for me like you. Just too much in a hurry. Hand clutch looks good. At least I can repair the acuator and put new brakes on. Not too bad of a waste of time there. Thanks again for reply.

Clutch disc is in backwards.
