The clutch lever height is measured from the
wear surface of the pressure plate to the
contact point on the release bearing end of the
levers when the clutch is in the installed
position. Without the special tools to set the
levers with clutch out of the flywheel, you can
only come close to what it should be.

The reason the thickness of feeler gauge
makes no difference is because we have no
way of knowing how far the release bearing is
from the correct specification. That is why
when the clutch is out you need to get the
levers set as close as posible.

If your clutch has the adjustment screws on
the inside end of the levers, the screws
should be close to centered in the levers. If the
adjustment screws are on the outside end,
then you need to adjust the levers until they
are parallel with the flywheel surface when the
clutch is assembled. Once you have this initial
setting you can assemble the tractor.

For the final setting, to get the lever
adjustment the same on all three levers, you
set the distance to the release bearing. For
me it works best to use a piece of keystock. It
is longer and does not bend like a feeler
gauge if you are a little tight. Just adjust the
release bearing until the gauge is a slip fit
between the bearing and the lever you are
staring with. When you get the bearing
adjusted to a slip fit, turn the engine and
adjust the other two levers until they have the
same fit. When all the levers are the same you
can then adjust the bearing so that there is
one inch free travel at the clutch pedal.
