jd 2040 clutch

[spin cycle]

know someone who reckons the clutch in his 2040 has gone...it won't go in gear running but put it in gear stopped then start up and she goes alright

is the clutch gone or could it be it just needs bleeding?....know about nashes but nowt about lesser brands

Either it's not disengaging due to faulty linkage or hydraulic issues or it's stuck!!! Could also be a shattered plate that has wedged solid inbetween flywheel and pressure plate giving constant drive.

First thing first, establish if the slave and master cylinder setup (if a 2040 has one) is working. If you think it is, start up tractor and let it warm up properly. Then get into a low gear and in a field. Make SURE pull to stop works!! Get driving round the field with clutch pedal pushed down, and wedged if you want. Then just jab brakes on and off to see if it will release.

got in it today.....got it into 1st gear let clutch up ...put brakes on....engine laboured but overcame brakes....but rattly won't change gear very easily.....i'm convinced clutch is ok but needs bleeding......just don't know how to do it

BUMP.....it's a 2030...been looking for 'bleeding clutch' on tinterweb.....can't find anything

Almost sure the 2030 was just a mechanical pedal. If the pedal feels light I'd be looking at the release bearing

that was what i'm beginning to think.....now i've driven tractors with knackered clutches and the engine just revs up while tractor goes slowly.....this pulls alright but it's hard work to get into gear

Won't be sg2 if it's a 2030?, It will be a mechanical linkage won't it?

If it's not dispensing it could be part of the clutch disc has detached and become jammed, or something else is preventing disengagement. Has it been stood idle for some time?

mur huwcan suggested this to... it could be jammed....but it's not been stood up....no sweat really as it'll make a project for tractor runs

cab off?

 

[bkg]

yep cab off air out of tyres, all oils out of her, furry dice off the sun blind thats just to start with

 

[bkg]

by the way just check fly wheel depth when you open it up it might be very low so trust bearing not pushing clutch cover down far enough,

 

[Daveh]

Could it be seizing on the spigot bearing or bush?

Have you excessive free (light) travel at the top of the clutch pedal, by any chance?
If so and you have a fully mechanical linkage from pedal to clutch shaft, find adjuster and adjust until all free play has gone, then just turn back to leave a bit at the very top.
