It's high for road gear engagement.
If worried, PTO rpms, hard surface, hold down both brake pedals (hard) and let the driveline clutch out slowly. If the engine lugs hard and wants to die (before you get the pedal pushed back down) should be good to go. If it doesn't then 3 questions arise: Is it worn out, is the clutch adjustment itself improper, or is the external clutch linkage in need of adjustment. On external adjustment, pedal freeplay (pedal up vs pedal just touching clutch release fingers) is in the manual and I forget how much....roughly an inch best I can remember. PTO activate is just about right in the center of pedal travel range.
I have a '65 3000D, live, 8 sp. 5200 hrs. Bought at about 4500. Don't know if clutch had been changed or not.....no signs of main frame splitting. Still stout. Just a slight PIA with it being so high....but the repair manual doesn't have a problem with that.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
