When I bought the tractor the TA was out. The rollers were all flat sided and crossways, so no surprise there. The cross shaft for the TA throwout bearing had been cut and rewelded. The top arm had been shortened by about an inch.
I put a rebuilt TA, new clutches, and a different cross shaft in. The TA didn't work. With the TA pressure plate bolted up to the TA clutch basket the pressure springs were completely compressed. There was no way the pressure plate could lift and release the TA clutch.
I made up some 1/8" shims to put between the pressure plate cover and the clutch basket. That gave it enough room to release and got the TA working. The clutch does not release by much (0.020 - 0.030") and it is still hard to shift. If there is any load on the transmission, the shift lever sticks in gear. No amount of adjustment will make it right. I have done it by the operators manual and by the service manual. Neither makes any difference ( nor are they that different).
Something is not right with this tractor. Sometimes when there is an odd problem like this, it is due to a previous repair that was not quite done right. One big thing that was replaced was the rear chassis.
So, I'm wondering if there is anything in the rear chassis that would make a difference with the TA ?
