I recently purchased a 1953 Farmall Super M which runs well and is in fairly good condition for a non-restored tractor, however, the clutch is so stiff I can hardly use it. The seat is already forward as far as possible without major modification but my legs are short and I can hardly push the pedal far enough to disengage the clutch. The previous owner informed me the clutch has always been stiff and he suspected it is related to keeping the ceramic clutch plate from slipping. Now my questions: 1) What is a ceramic clutch – I have never encountered one before; 2) Is it likely the tension is related to proper operation of the ceramic clutch; 3) Short of pulling the transmission apart, is there any way to lighten the tension on the clutch pedal or will I need to contrive a hand-operated assist using as much leverage as I can???
