Getting ready to adjust the hand clutch on my 45. Anyone got the procedure for it. I know it has to do with shims, but do you add, remove, or reposition the existing shims. Thanks

Always check your clearance before you start. Put a feeler gauge down between the clutch pack with the clutch disengaged, find out what the clearance currently is. It needs to be between .035" and .065" I shoot for .045" remove enough shims equally from the three stacks to get your clearance. if you go to tight the clutch wont disengage correctly. While you have the cover off look aft and check the condition of the brass collar on the throw-out bearing fork. If the tractor is one that sat running constantly with the hand clutch disengaged that brass collar will be worn out and no amount of shimming will fix it.
