H clutch problems

[DamonR]

I have a 46" H that I recently bought. It is running but the clutch is not engaging correctly. There is no "snap" that everyone talks about even after replacing the clutch plate and tightening the adjustment bolts to the point of the clutch being always engaged. I have also noticed that when I pull the clutch lever back all the way it will re-engage the clutch. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Damon

Hi, if the CLUTCH reengages it is to TIGHT. As for no snap , the TOGGLES and dog bones are with out any doubt FILTHY as a rule or worn out. Remove pulley assey completely and degrease the components mentioned. Re-lube with a good lubricant , but don't over do it. Plus the (H) clutch has never had a distinct SNAP like the LARGER tractors, A,s B S G S and so on. The clutch DRUM it not designed the same and does not have that HOLLOW METAL SOUND . Hope this helps.

Once you get it all cleaned out, replace the 3 springs on the outside of the pressure plate.

I replaced the three springs. When I pulled the clutch cover, there was 2 inches of rust in the bottom and the clutch plate was rusted in place. It took quite a bit of work heating the bolts up with a torch to even get them off. It was a real mess.

I am a first timer at this, what is the best way to pull the assembly? Can I just pull the clutch out, or do I need to split the case?

Fabricate a PULLER PLATE , and 2 BOLTS and place the PLATE across the end of the CAM SHAFT and draw the PULLEY off.
