I understand what you mean about adjusting the fingers on the pressure plates, but you didn't offer any specs to adjust to. Prior to the split, the clutch worked fine, so I don't think it needs adjusting. Is there something I can check before reassembling the tractor to determine if the fingers need adjusting?
The reason I split the tractor is because the PTO clutch wouldn't work. Once I got it apart, I realized the PTO clutch was so loose that, when disengaged, one of the fingers which wraps around the adjusting nut (side furthest from the clutch) had slipped past and was digging into the side of the nut. I couldn't engage or release the PTO, it just felt locked up. I've reinstalled the PTO clutch and engaged it many, many, times and it seams to work fine, now. Knowing what I do now, I probably could have unjammed it through the access cover on the bottom of the tractor.
I purchased this tractor from my neighbor; his weekend vacation farm, actually. Prior to my purchase, it sat in his yard and I hadn't seen it move in 15 years. It sat on three flat tires and wouldn't start. I was surprised to see that the engine clutch and PTO clutch were virtually in new condition. I don't know the history of the tractor, but I suspect the clutch was rebuilt just before my neighbor purchased the tractor and then he hardly ever used it. All the clutch plates were clean and dry and looked like new. I decided to install a new throw out bearing just to be sure. For some reason, it doesn't seam right to go to all the trouble of splitting a tractor and not install at least one new part.
