to 35 1955 clutch problem

[Serge Dion]

sudently no clutch .i open the cover under the clutch and i found a head of a an ajusting bolt there is three like that.it goes thru a coil spring.is it possible to put this back and do the ajustement without splitting the tractor.its a dual clutch with a z134 motor.

I have had that happen three different times. It is a special bolt that you can get from your MF dealer, part # 81121M1, about $6.15 ea. The bolt can be inserted through the finger and spring and threaded into the plate from underneath the clutch. It is not easy, but it can be done. I used an inside caliper to measure the distance between the finger and the plate where the bolt goes through the finger on one of the good fingers. Then I adjusted the new bolt to that distance. If anyone has a better way to do this I'm all ears!! Does anyone know why these bolts break?

Finaly i split the tractor to see what was going in it. the clutch bearing was worn and loose and i found a finger that was crack were the bolt is for the ajustement and the pins that holding the finger were too much play in it.so i decide to change the hole thing instead of bying all the parts.now its going very well it cost me $450 with the clutch plate and the two bearing.
Now i have to leave a side my bad habbit to keep my foot on the clutch when the tractor is running .it is not good for the bearing.
