Hi, my brother and I have replaced the clutch in his 454D twice over the 30 years he has had it.

If the clutch is not slipping, I would try adjusting it first. The adjustment is done by lengthing the rod by the clutch pedal. Should have about 3/4 to 1" free play. Make sure your clutch return spring is not broken. This spring pulls the clutch pedal to it its resting place so that the release bearing does not touch the pressure plate fingers.

There is an ispection plate in the bottom of the bell housing that allows visual inspection of the release bearing and pressure plate.

It is not a difficult job to replace clutch pressure plate and bearings. About 4 to 5 hrs.
for the inexperienced. An IH mechanic probably can do it in 2 to 3 hrs if there is no loader frame to remove.

I don't recommend doing the job yourself unless you have experience at this type of work and access to the proper tools. When you split the tractor in two, you are dealing with two very heavy pieces of machinery supported by hydraulic jacks.

BE CAREFUL
