Woods Equipment TS44, TS52 Slip Clutch Adjustment, Driveline Shear Bolt Replacement, Cleaning

SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

1.Turn off tractor engine and remove key.

2.Loosen nuts on springs until the springs can rotate freely, yet remain secure on the bolts.

3.Mark outer plates of slip-disc clutch as shown in Figure 11.

4.Securely attach implement to the tractor and start the tractor.

5.Engage PTO for several seconds then quickly dis- engage it.

6.Turn tractor off and remove key.

7.The friction lining plates should have "slipped", or moved. Check the marks placed on the outer plates of the slip-disc clutch in step 3 to make sure this is the case.

8.If clutch does not slip, check assembly for oil, grease and debris. Clean if necessary.

9.Reassemble clutch and tighten bolts no more than 1/8 of a turn at a time until desired setting of 1.31" compressed spring length.

10.If excessive slippage continues, check lining plates for excessive wear. They are 1/8" thick when new and should be replaced after 1/32" of wear to ensure proper operation.

2.Rotate driveline to align holes in yoke and shaft. Install shear bolt and secure the lock nut.
