In Reply to: Clutch Adjusting... posted by eric skokan on March 11, 2009 at 22:02:49:
Eric: I have seen the fork that Pete shows in his diagram and photo, bend enough so bottom end and linkage to pedal hits the pressure plate before the clutch releases. Yes, and this happened with a new release bearing. It happened the last time I put a new clutch assembly in my 130.
I'm after forgetting whether I had to split the tractor or not. I almost think you can remove that fork without splitting the tractor. Drive the pivot pin through torque tube out, unhook linkage to pedal. I think you can move the fork under the release bearing and out the bottom inspection hole. It's not easy but with a bit of manuvering I think it will come. I may have split the tractor, can't remember. You can always try. I know I straightened fork close to it's original shape, then beefed it up with some small bar and welding. That was 2001 and it's still going.
The more I think about this, I did it without splitting tractor. I say this as I remember being on my knees, left hand up through inspection hole positioning the fork, looking to see what I was doing through hole in torque tube for greasing release bearing and tapping pivot pin in with small hammer at same time. Not having a third hand I remember hooking the trouble light into pressure plate. Don't ask how many 4 letter words I uttered in the process.
