ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH

It is impoftant that a clearance of .O50-inch be maintained between the clutch release lever and the clutch releasebearing. In order to maintain this clearance, the pedal should have a free movement of approximately 9/32-inch. This measurement is taken at the point of contact of the pedal arm with the front edge of the pedal return stop.

The clutch pedal adjustments are set at the factory and should not require frequent attention unless the linkage has been disturbed or when the pedal movement becomes less than 9/32-inch. When it is necessary to adjust the clutch, turn the adjusting nut (No.3 on page 29) on the clutch release rod in or out as required to get the proper measurements.

THE BRAKES

Adjust to 100 ft. Ibs. per wheel as shown in illus- tration. If necessary tools are not available, adjust as follows:

The disc brakes should start to engage when the pedal is pressed down to a position where the engine clutch starts to release.

Push the pedal down until the clutch just begins to release. This can be checked by shifting the transmission into third gear and rocking the tractor back and forth. If the drive shaft turns free and does not turn the engine, the clutch is disengaged. Locate the pedal at this point with a "c" clamp and adjust the jam nuts on both brake rods until the brakes just begin to clamp the brake discs and create some drag. Make sure the brakes completely release when the pedal is up against the stop, and then tighten the jam nuts.

The tractor transmission should shift easily when the tractor is stopped and the clutch-brake pedal is depressed.

NOTE: To check the equal ization of the brakes, drive the tractor in third gear on a concrete or

blacktop surface. When making a sudden stop, both wheels should start to slide simultaneously. If one wheel stops before the other, make the proper adjustment to obtain uniform braking of both wheels.
