MF135 clutch grabs

mike46@icrossroads.com

I have a friend who has the same model with a gas engine and has a question about a strange engine noise that he thinks might even be "normal" after a rebuild and then a second teardown and reassembly. Big Dean has responded to the problem earlier but my friend would like to contact someone who has that gas engine and ask about this noise which I can describe for you. Looking forward to your email.

tractor had sat for a long time and pressure plate must have rusted, using tractor for light work will not polish the surface very much

WARNING: this is sacriledgeous to many but it works

AFTER you have eliminated mal-adjustment:
hook onto something HEAVY, put tractor in 2nd gear high range, rev the snot out of the engine and slip the clutch a bit at grab point, wild eyed heretics will put front bumper against a large oak tree

if that doesn"t do it then think about splitting the tractor
