Uneven clutch release levers - '47 H

Another first-timer question:

Towards the end of an hour's worth of snow plowing, I got some grinding when shifting. In stead of my usual sufficient clutch depression, I made sure to stand on the clutch pedal and the grinding went away, for a while. It came back, even with standing on the pedal, as I parked in the barn. So the clutch was partially engaged even with my depressing the pedal all the way.

Took a look at the clutch and found one of the three release levers is riding on the release bearing, one is about 1/16" off the bearing and the last is about 1/4" off the bearing. Can these be adjusted individually? I know all are supposed to be 3/16" away from the release bearing. If they are individually adjustable, should I try to even the other two levers with the one that is 1/4" away from the release bearing and then adjust the pedal rod to get the 3/16" clearance? I've about 1/2" of threads on the rod, inside the pedal lever.

The clutch was performing fine up until now. What I can see of the clutch plate itself looks like it's got a healthy 1/8" or more of pad. I'd checked the free play on the pedal about six hours ago and that was pretty much right on the 1 and 1/8". I did not check the release lever clearance until now.

Thanks,

Dave
