Adjusting The Clutch

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was wondering if any could give me some pointers on how you know when the clutch on a AC 7045 power director is adjusted correctly?
I recently replaced the clutch cable on our 7045. I know there is the u-bolt on the clutch cable that you slide forward or back against a plate on the tractor to adjust when the clutch engages. I was wondering if there was a rule to follow for adjusting the cable? Currently I can let the clutch out about 4-5 inches from the floor when the clutch starts to engage. That seems close to our other tractors. 

I was wondering if that was correct. Thanks for any advice.

	Engine off. Clutch pedal should have zero freeplay. If you have the lower kick panel removed, there should be zero gap between the fork tips and the inching spool washer that they touch. An improperly adjusted cable will give you transmission brake issues, as the spool isn't being pulled out far enough to fully apply the trans brake.

	Also check that the copper bushings on the fork are not worn. Good Luck, Mike

	That's a good point. Some of us old guys just automatically replace those bushings while in that area, along with a new ball joint and Gr8 bolt/locknut on the end of the cable. Good for many more years after that.

	Being 43, I use the Internet to gain knowledge on lots of things, especially how to fix things I have never worked on. (Sure wish they had how to videos for Allis!) If you don't mind me asking Dr. Allis who taught you to fix tractors? My dad would often just take things into repair shops to get fixed. You never got the chance to watch and see how things were done. At $100+ a shop hour, I'd rather keep the money in my pocket if I can. It's fun learning how things work, but I don't know if I would get some things repaired if I wasn't for the Internet teaching me.
