D10 Input Shaft Sleeve Issues

Hey folks, I acquired a 1961 series I D10 last week. I was told that the last time it was running ~5 years ago, the clutch was squealing, so it was parked. So the first thing I've done is order a clutch kit, and split the tractor. Well, it appears the issue is not with the clutch itself, but rather the sleeve that the input shaft goes through, and the throwout bearing carrier rides on. If you zoom in on the image below, you will see what I mean. 

Thanks, but not quite. It is stationary, the throwout bearing carrier (208407) moves back and forth on it. 

Larry listed the part numbers #10 and 14

Is the throw-out bearing retainer free to move on that sleeve. If not, it appears that the throw-out bearing retainer has pulled sleeve from housing and grinding it against clutch disc hub when pedal was depressed.. JMHO, Tracy

TUBE does not appear to be an aftermarket item... It does show up at various DEALERS, but they are pretty proud of it, going by the price... You do realize that part numbers have 8 digits these days, so you have to add a 70 - to the front of 208414..

Steve, thank you for that - I did not know about putting the 70 in front of the part numbers. I'll have to see if there is a dealer around my area that can source parts. Didn't think that anything would be available through dealers anymore. I've had plenty of experience with red, blue, green and other tractors, but this is my first time with an orange tractor, so there is still plenty to learn. 

Welcome to the forum. Yes the new numbering is 8 digits. Depends on the original number you put a 7 or 70 to make 8 digits. 

Does those parts fit D14 tractor or just the auxiliary engine.

That is a real nice looking tractor. Definitely worth the trouble to fix correctly!  Tracy

If it only had that many threads into nut, I think the clutch and pressure are wrong. Looks like the fingers are way to low on pressure plate. Someone adjust the clutch pedal rod to try to  overcome the low fingers. What causes this is TOO thick a clutch disc and sometimes TOO thick a pressure plate. What is the stand up height of the pressure plate fingers with it bolted together? Post a pic of the pressure plate from the side with fingers showing. The sleeve that throw out bearing carrier rides on should not be free. Rick Corder can get you straightened out on the clutch problem. Not sure he still does any, but he can explain what is wrong, and how to correct it.That sleeve is an easy find to get, don't cut any corners inside the bell housing, it will bite you everytime! This is what I think it is.

Tracy, I called up the Agco dealer today, and they were able to look up the part number. But it is out of production and there is no stock at other dealers that they are able to get. And the only one I can find looking online is the one that Steve posted above, that is Canada. So it doesn't look like it is going to be an easy find at all to replace.
