1950 H Clutch Question

I was driving my 1950 H enjoying the day, put it in reverse to turn around, pushed in the clutch to change directions, but no response. I had to shut it off to stop. I put it in neutral, started the engine, pushed in the clutch, but I was unable to engage any gear. All I heard was grinding. Also, there was no tension on the clutch pedal when it was pushed in. Is clutch adjustment my problem, or is it more serious? How easy is it to access the clutch components on my H?

if the clutch has never been replaced before. a 53 year old clutch might have just worn out. on the clutch their are 3 fingers that pull the pressure plate back allowing the clutch to slip freely. The throw out bearing might have siezed up do to lack of lube and after all the time the clutch pedal was pushed the bearing might have worn through the clutch fingers meaning when you push the pedal the bearing might be going past the fingers and not disangaging the clutch. that is my experience. good luck.

John,
If there is no resistance on the clutch pedal, I would guess that the throw out bearing has come apart. You can fix it without splitting the tractor, but it is a messy job. Make the T-bars to drop the hydraulic pump. The pump is not too heavy, but you will want a helper or a couple of pulleys to let it down. I have had poor results with aftermarket parts.

If you need to relace your clutch go here.
Scroll down and find the link for clutch replacement.

John, start with the linkage on the outside of the clutch housing, is every thing in place and tight? Next check through the underside of the clutch housing, see if you can see any thing obviously out of place. The clutch is accessable with out splitting the tractor by removing the belly pump from the clutch housing, just be careful not to drop it on yourself!!

I don't know, but a clutch doesn't die all at once. If you have been having problems, I suppose it could have finally given up. Otherwise, the clutch release shaft (the thing that attaches to the clutch rod outside the tractor) could be turning inside the clutch release fork--it is keyed, however. Or, I suppose the release fork or the release sleeve could have broken, I have never heard of that. Whether or not it is actually the clutch, there should be resistance when you push it in. I have had all this apart on my Super H, no belly pump. On yours I think you have to remove the belly pump to see anything.
