very cool. Thanks guys. That manual is very good. Already printed it.
Thanks for that picture as well.
Where do you guys source the replacement spring from? I know there is a plethora of springs at the local hardware stores, and likely one will fit, but is this a high tension spring, or is if fairly weak? I have a bunch of springs from the various drum brake jobs I've done, which might do the trick too.
Also, where can I find a replacement for the spring that sleeves the clutch shaft. On my 'ol man's tractor, the spring is cracked and doesn't do much at the moment. (or so it seems) Although it does run just fine, it's got a pretty harsh engagement when I let off the clutch in 1st.
Should the clutch disc freely 'rattle' side to side with the clutch/brake pedal depressed?
In the attached drawing, I highlighted the springs in green. So the release spring (oddly enough, not labelled in that drawing or any other in the manual) is the lower left spring correct? ...and my "loading spring" (horizontal cross section in green in the drawing, and sleeving the clutch shaft) is cracked and needs to be replaced. While we're at it, I might as well find a replacement spring for the adjustment rod too.
In the attached picture (borrowed from the service manual; thanks) the red arrow points to the 'loading spring' of which mine is cracked, and the yellow double-sided arrow shows the movement, play or 'rattle' I'm wondering if is normal when tractor is off or the clutch is depressed. Obviously I can't check to see if there's still movement when it's in gear and running unless I do some tricky unsafe stuff with jacks/jackstands (not gonna happen).
