Thankyou.

Glad we could help.

Yes I always replace the bearing myself but different people often choose not to and some last well and some don't. They are not expensive

Thanks John, I do hope they help someone out. Main thing is to encourage people to have a go, I think they would enjoy their tractors more.

Thanks Mal, Glad you liked them.

Thanks Mark, Glad you like them.

G day Jack, I hope to do a video on the dual clutch when the occasion comes along, they are very different.

Thanks Michael glad you get something from them.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Michael, Glad you like it.

Cool, thanks. Adjust the pedal around the rod after loosening the clamp bolt seems to do it.

Thanks Duncan, Glad you get something useful from it.

Greetings from Australia.

G Day Joe, A quick tip is to bolt the new plate in and check the finger height before you dismantle the pressure plate, it will get you close.

Thanks John, The front gearbox is definitely on the cards the rear engine seal will have to wait until my next engine rebuild. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Martin.

G day Charlie, you would probably end up with a drinking problem .lol

Thanks Rajesh.

G Day Allan, No I have not had one to do so far.

G Day Ron, The jumping can often be a sign of oil on the clutch plate making it sticky so it grabs and slips again until the peddle is fully out.

G Day Daniel, I have not done a video on the IHC clutch as I haven't had one in need of doing yet. If one comes along I will for sure.

At present only the tractor wreckers for clutch cover parts as far as I am aware.

G Day Danny, I would think you might need to split the tractor and replace the ring gear but I would also check the number of teeth on the old one versus the new one. I have found the odd different one in the past.

Thanks Declan.

Yes but only around 30ft/lb its not that important there.

Bundy Bears Shed Thanks 👍 keep up the good work

I will do the split on one or the other but I usually just jack under the rear and wheel the front away on a little home made trolley.

Thanks Lance, I will keep an eye out for it, along with all the other videos you put out there. As always thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and engineering passion. England out. (Sounds like a cricket score)

Well get into it

G Day Robert, The disk was a new one for all of the finger height tests and the same plate for all of the tests. My manual doesn't give a height but states fingers need to be 0.005" max difference so I supposed things just evolved over time with the clutches. I have seen the finger height gauges but I don't have measurements but thinking back some of the I&T manuals may have had something in them. This is all very interesting for me.

Right! Forgot that one. The 1990 Ferguson I&T book I have, page 16, under figure F28 cross section: "Model TE20, Borg & Beck model 9A6 clutch. Adjust release levers to 3/16 inch measurement as shown." The photo shows lines between the finger and the cover.

Sometimes they are like that cold but when you get them warm and slip them a bit they come good. Often a sign of oil on the clutch plate.

I'm going to sell it the way it is. And buy a track machine

G Day Fletch, No if you have free travel the plate has stuck onto the flywheel or pressure plate from oil ect, you will only be putting off the job for a little while if you free it up..

Bundy Bears Shed - new sparex clutch pressure plate (fingers set to 30mm), friction plate, release bearing, release bearing springs, input shaft seal, flywheel bearing fitted, tractor back together, pedal free play adjusted, pedal feels good and.... it’s still grinding when I try to select any gear! :-( Any ideas??

just as an update, i split tractor again and adjusted fingers a bit more and tractor has been going great since... On a positive note, after my practice run, the second go at splitting and rebuilding/driving was completed in an afternoon!

No any shims would be on the front housing holding the shaft in. Not a problem that I have had as yet anyhow.

Thank You Lance, I have now fitted the new pressure plate. It's a Bareco pressure plate and the finger bolts and nuts look like the same ones in your video lock nuts i think you said they were (they have little indentations around then, not peened but factory marked). I have around 1mm or 40" difference in finger height, the manual states 0.39mm or 15" max difference. I want to adjust the lowest finger as you instructed someone else to do. My question is: With those locking type nuts on the pressure plate, do you just wind the nut in or out without adding locktite once the correct measurement is reached or do i need to peen the thread a bit so the nut doesnt move again or add loctite? as these are set at the factory and I want to do this tomorrow and put the tractor back together if i can Thanks for your help Lance.

I suppose what Im asking is these Bareco or Sparex Pressure plates are set at the factory, should i be adjusting the finger height if on seems out of tolerance to me? Thanks again Lance

G day Bill, Well close some of these even got to 20hp .lol

Tie the clutch pedal down, then try and get the tractor running in a high gear and jump on and off the brakes and at times it will free up. With the engine off you can try with a big spanner on the pto as well. If you do get it free slip it and try and heat up the plate and burn any rust or grease off the plate. Sometimes none of this works and you need to split the machine.

Thanks Lance, it is not sticking every time, only some times, i think there must be some Oil on the clutch plate. Thanks again for a great show, it helped me a lot during the renovation of my fergie.

@@oleanthonurban8649 Did you get it working? I ave a similar issue, the clutch will not disengage.

@@jeskasper mostly yes, it is getting better, when use the brake, but it needs a new clutch and a new seal in the motor

A lot of people would love to do this but with only one shaft coming out the front of the gearbox I'm not sure it would ever work.

G Day Colin, Yes I have seen a few like that as well over the years, usually from a stuck throw out bearing or someone resting their foot on the clutch.

Stop it, lol.

and its good for you too lol.

Yh?
