I have a newly purchased Case-IH 385 and the owners manual has a sketch of the clutch actuating mechanism that shows a spring between the clutch release arm and what appears to be the floor board bracket. A spring in this position would keep a pressure on the clutch release bearing all the time. Most tractors have a spring holding the release pedal off the bearing. My tractor does not have either spring. Can anyone verify if this tracor is supposed to have a spring and what is the purpose? Thanks in advance of any information. My email is open Gene

I'm not sure about 385, but other 85 series converted to contact T/O bearing. Rides on release fingers, with no free play, only pedal height.. Check clutch adjust procedure to figure which one you have.

Thanks for the reply. Reading my owner manual about the clutch adjustment is what gave me this question. It clearly is designed to run with constant contact, but my book shows a sketch of the linkage with a spring connected to the release arm that will keep constant pressure on the bearing. My tractor doesn't have the spring and I'm trying to find someone with a 385/485 to verify the presence of a spring.

Hi, the 85 serie tractor have a spring to keep contact the bearing and fingers. It have a special Teflon washer, with the release bearing. Sometime when I make a clutch repair, I discard the washer and put a large spring and a stopper, like 74 and 84 serie, on the pedal to keep the bearing away from the finger. Just adjust the fingers much longer. Bernard le mécano Québec Canada

Bernard, Thanks for the first-hand knowledge. What is the consequence of not having a spring to keep the contact? The weight of the clutch pedal keeps some pressure on it.

Hi GENE , the Teflon washer have three notch that aling with the three finger bolts. The spring keep a pressure on the bearing to keep contact on those parts. When the spring is broken, the bolts worn the Teflon washer badly. You can check by the cover under the clutch. The problem with a clutch release bearing that turn all the time, it is worn rapidly.

That is the info I am looking for. Thanks Bernard!! I'm going to drop the cover and have a look at the teflon washer. My email is open, would you mind dropping me message giving me your email? I might have questions once I have seen this Teflon washer on my tractor.
