![]() I think you would be hard pressed to break anything in the geartrain with a couple feet of lever, as long as you are not pounding on it.Ģ. That tractor is rated at probably 30 PTO HP. If you don't have a wrench that big, you could also try a 2-3' piece of flat bar stock slid through the u joint on the PTO driveshaft to try and rotate the shaft. Have a mate fully depress the clutch pedal and apply a pipe wrench to the driveshaft coupling u-joint assembly you slid over the PTO output shaft. Slide a PTO driveshaft onto the splined PTO output shaft. Place the PTO speed selector in the 1000 RPM position for better mechanical advantage when turning from the PTO output shaft end. Either of These two things should cause the PTO disk pressure plate to lift farther away from the flywheel. Move it forward till it just about contacts the clutch release levers. This will move the throwout bearing forward. Next you could adjust out most of the freeplay on the clutch pedal by unscrewing(lengthening) the threaded pushrod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch lever arm. I would reccomend marking them with a paint pen and counting the ammount you tighten the nuts so you can return them to the original position later. Tighten up the nuts/bolts that lift the PTO plate(see clutch adjustment link above). I could see the clutch plates being fused together where they overlap and that second PTO pressure plate(most forward one) not moving, but if it is moving, you should be able to get that PTO disk to break free.Īgain, I don't know what access your inspection hole allows, but if it will allow you to get some tools on the adjustment bolts, there is one or two other things you could try.ġ. If the second pressure plate is lifting, you should be able to apply enough torque to the PTO shaft to get things moving with the clutch pedal fully depressed. I mean I have worked with lots of rusted metal and metal to metal will fuse, but the clutch friction disks are not metal(well not entirely). If you were able to see BOTH plates lift(clutch fingers lift the first plate, first plate lifts the second plate), I don't see how it can be that stuck. I don't know what yours has for a inspection hole but you said you were able to see BOTH of the pressure plates lift when the clutch pedal was depressed. The 284 has 2 inspection holes, each about 3 X 5 inches on the left and right sides of the tractor. If so, it should look like the ones in these links. I read back through your original post and although I am not specifically familliar with your tractor, I am making an assumption from the pictures posted by the gentelman in France with the burnt up clutch, that it has a clutch pack similar to my 284. I would do anything I could do to avoid having to split that beast in two. ![]()
