I’ll preface this by apologizing for getting long winded, I’ve gone through my fair share of clutches in my time 😅,…my suggestion is if you’re going in you might as well do it all. Parts are easily sourced from reputable suppliers, I have mine that I prefer and so do others. Bushings for the clutch handle can be replaced as well as the bolt that holds it on, don’t beat on the bolt with a hammer trying to remove it as you’ll break off that ear and really be in trouble. There is a tool for removing that bolt/pin safely, if I lived closer I’d loan mine to you😊 …..you can buy oversized pins to take out the slop in the rod, I heat the clevis part red hot and then drill out the hole to the size of the new over size pin. Inside the clutch chances are you’ve got a worn or possibly broken clutch dog, the toggles may be worn as well but generally the dog is the culprit. Also the T bolts do wear as they pull on the dogs but they don’t seem to wear as fast either. At the end of the day it’s your tractor and your money but if it’s in the cards I would replace all those operating components along with the clutch discs. Give everything inside a good cleaning including the oil passages and if you’re really feeling ambitious you could remove the bearing and pack that with a good high temp grease. Finally I use Belleville washers under the castellated nuts which makes for a much crisper snap on the clutch. Good luck!!!

Do you know why the hookups as originally plumbed didn’t work? And what then are those side ports for?

The 830 was named Mr mighty when it came out ,my dad had 2 of them when I was a kid

Great explanation on the PowerTrol. Looking forward to the clutch work...clutch overhaul is my winter project on my 43 JD A.

It would be a great winter project to completely go through the whole clutch and linkage. Based on how sloppy the linkage is everything needs to be resized and bushed to bring it back into spec. That old A has a lot of hours on it. You won’t know how to act with the linkage all tightened up. Have fun.

I would shorten them nipples they are sticking out way to far.

Clutch will naturally be hard to disenguage when you tighten it. Thats a given. Normal wear will aleviate that. Tell me about it i grew up on a G. Can attest to many mishaps as a young boy happening after you tighten the clutch. I had a system down to a science stand up do a reverse flip leaving me in front of clutch lever hanging on to the steering wheel and light bracket giving me leverage to do a hardy kick to pop it out

The sound !!

Glad you figured out the hydraulic system. YA the clutch needs work . Is there bushings in the clutch brake assembly ? I personally would keep all the parts tractors if I had a place to store them. Really Good stuff right here. Thanks. 😊

It's been many years since I worked on my Grandpa's A, but I'm pretty sure that he had set up his three point so the top link was mounted offset to the left. And that allowed us to access the hydraulics while the top link was installed.

Great video. I was having trouble figuring out. On the clutch, the clutch handle u can get a new pen for it. The part that is talking in video is the clutch brake u can use a bushing to tight it up. The last thing that I can tell you is. The clutch you are talking about 3 bolts tightly up. But the clutch diver has a single bolt in it. After it is removed, you should have nickel thickness, and then the clutch diver will be pressed on.

You'll love it after you've tightened up all that linkage. I repaired all the clutch linkage on my Cat D2 and now using the lever is like a tight Euro sports car gear shift - just awesome - click>click

You've got what looks like some rare dished rear wheels on that A.

I have wrapped a come-a-long through the wheel and around the tire to squeeze the tire down enough to get the clutch off. Done it successfully many times on different tractors.

Now you got the cylinder to work so if the clutch don't work it'll sit and you can look ar it. The clutch will ALWAYS entail more than you think. Everything does and I heard that Silly Girl outside gomming around. Blessings and HappyThanksgiving!

Kinda neat, I've never seen a 3 point on an A or B, I learn something new every day.

I do not know their phone number for Steiner tractor parts

Check with Steiner tractor parts in the state of Michigan do you want to have all your parts here but you need for your tractors

Happy Thanksgiving day

Do you put different oil in when it gets that cold?

Watching with interest from the uk, we don't seem to have many tractor with pony engines, possibly some fitted to big cat commercial units, can certainly see the benefits, especially in colder climates, especially if it preheats, 👍

RiGHt ✅️ 0N 😮

Gotta snap that strap.

Dude, what happened to the rolling coulters ahead of the molboards?

Almighty congratulations to anyone or any spare parts department that helps to keep a JD twin running and in the field !!!

Oh my goodness Jonelstar :) may have get loader tractor help push up out !

Nice to see all the interest in the old iron. Thanks again. 😊

Mr axel will come out and weld a new spindle on for 1300.

Totally normal do not change anything.

Have you ever adjusted the PTO clutch pack tension to engage/disengage, and how did you do it? I have the service manual but I have no idea how hard it “feels to the operator” to engage/ disengage. It says 27 lbs of force at 24 inches but that makes the lever move pretty easily, any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks again!

What part of the country is this?

I like it

Wow, I knew someone would have one. Glad you found it. 😊

Uh oh.... Good luck with that.

The question is how in the hell did it get frozen in place in the first place?

I think I need ear protection just watching this....

Love those old John Deere 🦌tractors. Big part of my youth now over sixty years ago. Roll O Matic front end and all. Our D was hand started via flywheel. Start on gas then switch to distillate. The A was electric start gas. The 70 was gas pony start Diesel. It could do front end loading work or detached for field work. All hand lever clutch operation. The Oliver Cle Trac was electric starter Diesel. We’d start before daybreak and shutdown after sunset sometimes. Had a paper sack lunch and a coffee thermos on the go at noon.🕛

What year is that old D

That is very cool. Like minded people bringing success to someone in his search.

YAAY!

Glad you found the spindle! Now don’t go welding this one up too hahaha! JK. Love your tractor videos. Please keep them coming.

Face shields work better if they are actually DOWN......just kidding. Enjoyed the video, nice job all around.

Awesome. Love my farmers, much love from washington

Wyoming?

That whole John Deere was made by Yanmar.

I could've hauled the rock but te truck needed more axles. Good video and Blessings too yall!

These shipping containers as storage and even housing has become a big deal in some places in Wisconsin. This looks like it will work out nicely.

Progress! YAAY!

Best video of the year!! Your brother sure is a cool guy! 😊 You’re very smooth for a 1st time operator on the mini ex. And fun to see the 4x4 on the little JD in action.
