Hello all, Recently I purchased a Farmall 450 diesel. After slight repair I was able to get it running on gas and diesel excellently. The tractor makes gobs over power, however it is having issues with the clutch and T/A. In fifth gear it slips and wont move with the t/a forwards. However if I pull it back it will grind but if I push in the clutch it will stop grinding and move. Mid throttle it will do fine but if I rev it up the clutch will start slipping. You can feel it lightly grab again when throttled down. Going up a hill is impossible in fifth gear. 4th gear will slip only if starting on a big hill. The tractor will not get moving if ta is forwards.
All of this is after I tried playing with the linkage. Here is what I did. I started by disconnecting springs and rods that went between clutch and t/a. Adjusted clutch freeplay to about 3/4 inch. From there with the t/a handle forwards, I twisted the shaft going into the t/a housing gently counter clock wise until it stopped. The linkage didnt have enough threads in order to the the 3/16 gap in the buckle. My guess is it maybe had double that. I then adjusted the linkage between the clutch and t/a to the shortest possible length. It does leak a little oil out from the bottom of the clutch. Im new to the t/a but not the clutches. Ive split 2 Hs and a 2404 for clutch work. Im not afraid to split it but wondering it anyone has suggestion first. Thanks, Ryan
