The false flywheel ring is interposed between and integrated with the primary and secondary clutch sub-assemblies, and is secured to the flywheel by the same cap screws that attach the eluted cover. In operation, the eluteh springs exert pressure against the clutch pressure plates, this in turn transmits the pressure through the discs to the false flywheel ring for the secondary cluteh and to the engine flywhool for the primary clutch, thus establishing a firm frictional contact between the respective discs and flywheel faces. Deprossing the clutch pedal through ie 1st stage moves the eluteh release fork, which in turn contacts the clutch release hearing, moving it forward oa the retainer and bringing It in contact with the clutch release fingers. The bearing depresses the fingers which in turn causes the primary pressure plate to retract from the digo and release the pressure on it, This intorrupts the power flow to the transmission, Depressing the clutch pedal further through the 2nd stage (noticeable by an increased resistance to overcome) causes the same release fingers to move the primary pres- sure plate to a point where it contacts and canses the secondary pressure plate 10 retract from its respective disc, thua releasing the frictional contact between the dise and the falee flywheel ring face. This interrupts the power flow to the hydraulic pump and power take-off input shaft, ‘The combination coil and Belleville spring dual clutchhas been uged in all 38 (MF & TO) trartors sinee Tractor Serial Number 177308, MF 50 Tractors since Tractor Seriar umber 515395 and all models of the MP 65 Tractor.MADDEE-FERGUSUN CLUTCH & FLYWHEEL ASSEMBLIES SERVICING THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY 35, 50 and 65 CLUTCH ASSEMBLY DIFFERENCES There are five parts in the 104 S41 MOL clutch assembly (used in the 35 and 50 (MF & TO) tractors) which are changed in the 184 543 _MO1 clutch assembly (used in the MF 65 tractors), These changes are not all evi- dent, therefore, use care when ordering parts. NOTE: Be sure to use the correct paris whenever servicing the clufch assembly. This clutch may be used only with the ventélated type flywhecl, ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH ADJUSTING THE RELEASE LEVER HEIGHT Split. the tractor between the engine and tranamission if not previously done, When the chatch assembly has been properly attached to the flywheel, with a NEW primary disc in place, the clutch release lever height should be checked using the special gauge (No, 3, Fig. 1), The release lever height 1s measured from the machined surface of the chiteh cover to the adjusting screw on the release levers as iMustrated in Fig. 2.

ADJUSTING THE SECONDARY PRESSURE PLATE CLEARANCE The proper clearance botwoen the adjusting cap screws and the secondary pressure plate 4s 0.08020,002 inch. Using the apectal 0.000 inch feelor gauge (No. 2, Fig. 1), theadjustment is made as illustrated tn Fig. 3. Loosen the tock nut on the adjusting cap screw, turn the cap serew in (or out) until the 0.080 inch feeler gauge can be ingerted between tne cap screw head and the secondary pressure plate. Hold the cep acrew and tighten the lock mut to lock the adjusting cap screw. Recheck the clear- ance. Be sure the clearance is the same for all three of the adjusting screws. NOTE: If @ partially worm but tii serviceable secondary dist is to be used in the clutch, the clutch should be adjusted to this partially worn second ary dist, It should be kept tn mind, however, that the clutch release lever hoight should always be adjusted with a NEW primary disc installed.MASSEY-FERGUSON GROUP Il — SECTION A — PART: MF 35, 50 & 65 CLUTCH & RLYWHEEL ASSEMBLIES Fig. 3 Adjusting Seenndaty Pressure Plate Clearance ‘This adjustment can be made through the inspection cover on the botiom of the clutch housing if shsolutely necogeary, REMOVING THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FROM THE FLYWHEEL 1.
