SECTION 4. TROUBLESHOOTING
1.PROBLEM :Clutch slippage.
The initial stage of clutch slippage is very hard to notice,but the following symptoms
1) The tractor is not generating adequate power when performing heavy duty operations.
2) Output is not commensurate to increate in engine speed when the engine is accelerated suddenly
during operation.
3) Increased fuel consumption.
These symptoms are apt to be mistaken for engine problems. Clutch slippage that is not repaired will
result in serious damage such as excessive wear of the clutch facing,the clutch cover, and even flywheel
or clutch seizure.
TEST METHOD
If the parking brakes are applied and the transmission gears shifted to top speed and the engine
stops ,then the clutch is normal.But if the engine does not stop,it shows that the clutch is slipping.
Probable causes Countermeasures
-No play in the release bearing Adjust
-Broken or fatigued pressure spring Replace
-Excessive wear of clutch facing Replace
-Oil stained or hardened clutch facing Repair or replace
-Deviation of flywheel or pressure plate Repair or replace
2.PROBLEM :Poor disengage
When the clutch does not disengage properly,the transmission gears make noise when shifted,or shifting
or the gears is difficult.
Probable causes Countermeasures
-Worn or rusted splined section of the clutch disc hub Remove rust or replace and apply grease
-Excessive deviation of the clutch disc Replace
-Insufficient play of the release bearing Adjust
-Excessive play of the release bearing Adjust
-Dried pilot bearing Replace
3. PROBLEM :juddering
Probable causes Countermeasures
-Oil-stained clutch facing Replace
-Fatigued pressure springs Replace
-Hardened clutch facing Replace
-Deviation in clutch facing Repair or replace.
-Deviation or deflected wear of pressure plate or flywheel Replace
-Difference in release lever heights Adjust
