: Can anyone help? Have a 1955? ser.no 12a655 farm tractor. Pulls strong and will stall motor when the engine is cold, but after about 20 min. of use, the clutch will slip before stalling the engine. What controls the clutch pressure? Thanks
Charles, Clutch adjustment on the 955 loader:
First open inspection plate either on the top or
the bottom of the clutch housing. There is a four
legged spider assembly behind the clutch plate,
loosen the half inch lock nut & bolt on the spider,
with the transmission in gear,rotate the spider
assembly clockwise about an inch, try the clutch
lever, it should have about 35 to 40 lbs pull.
After adjusting tighten lock nut and bolt. After
tightening the lock nut the clutch might tighten
up a little. Hope this helps. See my Web page at
