Why do you have to depress the pressure plate levers and install a block of wood to keep them depressed? Then remove pressure plate? How do you depress them? They seem pretty hard to press in. Im going to have a hard time replacing it!!! Its made in the USAthird party image...Ring gear looks good enough to leave it. Its worn but no broken teeth..

Cam is no good at close up cant read the USA...

Left side arm on presure plate looks more worn then the rest...Clutch was adjusted as far as she goes...

Indiana Jones said: (quoted from post at 12:07:27 10/22/07) I used the same clutch replacement kit that you're getting when I did mine earlier this year. Everything worked fine. I put another engine in my 9N/2N hybrid so I figured might as well put a new clutch kit in. I was surprised by how easy the whole job was. I used wood wedges (per the manual) when removing pressure plate, but did not when putting the new one on. I had no problems. I replaced the ring gear and pilot on mine while it was apart.


I am replacing the whole 9 yards too..What did it cost to get the flywheel resurfaced?

I have an old broom handle that I ground a taper on the end that I use, I put enough cheap black tape on it that it just fits ijn the clutch splines hole.

I hain't missed one yet with it.

I am getting a kit off ebay from kelly Jewel. Link Comes with a alignment tool. Very important tool for aligning everything. You will never stab that tranny if the disk is not lined up with the pilot bearing.....I have done a few trucks. This is my first tractor. Easy compared to stabbing a tranny in a car or truck. Im leaving the tranny top cover off till its stabbed. This way I can rotate the input shaft till it lines up with the clutch disk.

Sean, don't forgit that when you go back, you need to take yer front tranny shaft off and use it fer a line up tool on yer clutch and pressure plate, flywheel, and thro out bearing.

Dan, Please don't take this wrong, but if that were true, how in the world would you ever replace it with a new one?

You have several good posts here - but I do not see where anyone actually answered your question as to WHY you put the little wood blocks on the arms when you remove and install these. The reason is really pretty simple, the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel are really pretty short, and if you press hard you "may" be able to get a thread started. Problem is, there is so much pressure on the first bolt(s) that it will usually strip the first threads of the bolt and/or pressure plate. By using wedges, you can remove this pressure and install the bolts cleanly. What I do is get two bolts a tad longer and run them in first at opposite corners, put the stock size in, then replace the longer ones with the stock size. Easier than trying to compress those arms.

HTH,
Dan

Great...One bolt snapped off when I removed the pressure plate..Project has been going good till now. Ill remove the fly wheel monday and get it to a machine shop and have it resurfaced..Might just have them get that bolt while they are at it..Is it a blind hole? Two bolts were loose may explain the uneven ware on the pressure plate forks...

I have always done it that way to. Not putting it back so I guess it dont matter. I have always put one back on by tightening them evenly!!

I have always just took the bolts out, and put them back, no wood blocks.

Be careful putting them back they don't take much torque (I know).

I've replaced several and never seen a need to use the wood wedges. I just loosen them evenly and tighten evenly when installing the new one.
