Howdy, Boys:
My SH has had a worn clutch pedal and shaft since I got it. It wobbled side-to-side badly. This was surprising to me, since the rest of the tractor seemed to show only minimal wear. I found out why shortly after I bought the tractor - seems the grease fitting was knocked off the clutch pedal years ago and, therefore, it wasn't greased over the years.
I removed the left side brake linkage and clutch pedal and found both the pedal hole worn and also the cross shaft badly worn. I sent the pedal off to Pilot Knob for a bore and sleeve rebuild ($46). Then, I removed the right side pedals and brake linkage and pulled the shaft. Had the local machine shop make a new cross shaft as they said that would be as cheap as welding up and turning the old one back down. Everything is back together now and it works wonderfully.
The hardest part of this job was removing the woodruff keys from the shaft. Man, those things were in the keyways tight. After mutilating them with hammer and punch, I finally got out the ol' "blue-tipped persuader" and heated them cherry red. They surrendered after that. What a good feeling to have a job completed and come out right. Just thought I'd share some good news from here at Poverty Flats, Alabama.
