 Topic: 45 hand clutch
Posted: 20 Jun 2017 at 4:16pm |
|
Need some further help. Got hand clutch cover off and have a manual, but not sure what is up. I have taken 2 of the bolts out on the basket and took the 1/8 inch block out of one position. Thought there were shims, but no. The manual just points to that and calls it shims. Looks like I have excess clearance between plates. Do I replace this block with shims, a narrower block or what? Wish I was older so I could remember what what my dad did. Other question is were would I get shims? Yesterdays tractor does not list them. Thanks for any and all help.

You may want to look at that "block" closer. The shim pack is so tight that it may
look like one piece of metal. If it is one solid block, I do not have an answer to
your question. Den

Thinking of doing same. Did you break the tractor in half to pull the hand clutch off?

Like said above the shims might be stuck to the spacer blocks, if there's no shims left and you have to much clearance between plates it might be time to over-haul the hand clutch.

Agree, when I took WD apart the shims were so stuck together you thought it was one piece. Took a knife and started scrapping and found out it was several pieces.

when you go to repairing the hand clutch in frame,you had better line the cavity with towels and what ever,if you drop a a shim,washer or bolt in that cavern you will understand what I mean.....

We used a carpenters utility knife "box cutter" to separate the shims. Works like a charm.

You do not need to split it to work on the shims. Remove the battery box and the humped cover and you will have access to the hand clutch.

45 had a shim pack plus a spacer. After all shim have been taken OUT, replace it with a new shim pack.
Yes, the plates are getting pretty thin. MACK
