The clutch plate looks good. Almost as much material as the new one. It is actually hard to tell the difference in material thickness by eye. The pressure plate looks good also. It has no blue or burnt spots. The fingers do show some wear but nothing bad. The throw out bearing shows some wear where the fingers make contact with it but nothing out of the normal on either. By wear I mean shiny spots on these items. Not gouges or deep marks.
I was thinking maybe oil getting on the clutch, but it and the pressure plate were dry. I was thinking if it was oil it would do it on start up after oil had time to leak after sitting overnight, but that was not the case.
I was thinking the pressure plate was warping due to letting the clutch be feathered some. I don’t know if that is a thing or not but it seems like the logical explanation.
As far as the adjustment of the new clutch and pressure plate goes I ran out of adjustment and only got the 1 &1/2 inch pedal. I will have to split the tractor again and inspect. Everything looked like the original except for the pressure plate fingers. I did not measure them against the old pressure plate (should have) but I would have not known if it would work or not till I installed it.
Now as my old daddy would have said “I am hard on stuff” compared to an old timer putting around. When I use it, I use it. I do try to keep equipment well maintained and I don’t run it into the ground as I know it cost more to fix it then.
