Dual Stage Clutch Setup - Massey Ferguson 175 - 6speed + MultiPower

I found fumbling with the depth plunger side of a conventional caliper inaccurate..
It is not possible to touch off of the HIGHSPOT on the "Round Headed Bolts" that contact the release bearing..
Using a dial indicator, is much more repeatable and allows realtime adjustment VS adjust it some and recheck and repeat till it matches..
Hope this helps someone
I know I was struggling trying to follow what others were doing...
Keep after your classics guys
They dont make em like this anymore

Ok. I just had a tractor guy put my clutch in for me. I have a 175 with 4hi and 4low. It seems like my clutch doesn't catch until my clutch almost reaches the top is that a problem?

Doesnt sound like its functioning correctly,
id recheck the initial setup distance between the bellhousing too rocker arm when the "slop" of the pedal and associated linkage is pressed out before doing anything else, a little bit of adjustment goes a LONG way
Same goes for the split yokes on the linkages, 1 turn at a time and recheck

You don't want it to engage too quickly. Probably ok. Once it engages it is ok. When you first push on the clutch foot lever does it disengage right away or not?

@@DT-abcd I yes after it goes down a few inches it disengages fine it just seems it engages close to last few inches of pedal release.

Thanks for reply.

@@leeroyexcavator9149 that is normal. Do you have a dual clutch? That is, the large disk for gear shift and the smaller one for the pto. When the pto clutch, you will find a sweet spot and it falls right in. When you push the clutch pedal all the way down and you get a thumping noise the bolts on the 3 fingers that engage or disengage the clutch protrude too far through and cutting into the rivets on the pto clutch disk. Just a little info I have experienced.

I'm curious: the support under the engine, how is it constructed?

[@DuB-TeK]

Its a DIY thing I made up, couldnt justify a tractor splitting stand for one clutch job..
Mostly a tapered roller bearing and some 2" UNF
The rest is what was available in the bins
Height and tilt are both adjustable
