Hi. I'm new to this website and may be in the wrong place, so if I am someone please straighten me out!
I bought a '53 Cub that hasn't been run in about ten years. While working on it I noticed the clutch pedal was almost laying down on the stop, so I adjusted the clutch at the pedal to about 1" free play. I got it running yesterday and when I pushed in the clutch I got a very unpleasant noise similar to gring gears, only I wasn't touching the shifter.
I went underneath and pulled the inspection hole cover. I could see that the lock nuts on the finger adjusting screws were loose and the screws themselves were backed WAY out. The noise was the throwout bearing fork hitting the locknuts as they went by.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the finger adjustment screws being backed out is the reason that the pedal was low to start with and properly adjusted finger screws would probably make the world a much better place to be. But, how to get them adjusted?
I do not want to split the trctor at this point because it is located 30 miles from my house and is in a storage building with no electricity or lights. Does anyone know of a procedure for adjusting the finger screws on a Rockford clutch through the inspection hole and with the tractor unsplit?
