~Bug, several questions,
How long has it been this way?
Is it worse?
By "end of stroke do you mean that the tractor keeps moving until the clutch is pushed in almost to the very stop?The freeplay seems close to correct, if adjusted this way:
Put blocks at the wheels so it will not roll.
Stand next to the tractor on the clutch side, and so you can do things.
Grab th pedal with your right hand and pull it away from the stop toward the front of the tractor (like you were using your foot).
The clutch should pull against the return spring pretty easily until it reaches the point where the throwout bearing touches the fingers on the pressure plate. hen it should get hard to push enough that you need to strain a little from that position. If it moved about an inch away from the platform stop, it is adjusted correctly.
If that is the case, and it starts and stops only when pushed way in, it has a problem that will require the wrenches. To remove the clutch and all components but the flywheel, this is my sequence.
Remove the inspection cover to the rearof the belly pump.
remove the belly pump *** it is heavy enough to wound you, use a floor jack, and a helper***.(align the pump drive to vertical so it comes out).
Remove the drive coupling to the transmission. (it is best to take pics of it to be sure to get it right)
Mark the components with punch marks to be sure they go back as removed.
These drive couplings are the "fits" at times.
Remove three seperate clutch cover bolts at 120 degrees apart, and put them into the cover so that they release the pressure. there are three holes in the P plate for this. Then loosen the remaining bolts so the clutch cover is all but out. at this point the disk, and the shaft are so loose that with your tongue held correctly the shaft will come out.
Now remove the last few threads on the P plate, and remove it. Now the driven disk.
Be sure to lube the pilot bearing when putting things back together,if using it again. also wire brush the splines and check for wear grooving, if grooved, replace the shaft. I hope this helps, let us know in a new post if this one is buried. JimN
