Massey 3065 clutch replacement.

[Fordson]

Morning all, we are finally needing to replace the clutch on our 1992 MF 3065. Starting to just about slip.
Can anyone tell me for certain which clutch plate/cover will be in this tractor as i would like it on site before starting work on it as time will be tight once the job is started. There seems to be 2 possible types going by agriline and others ......

Thanks in advance.

A serial number given to the dealer should tel u what it is

 

[Fordson]

Thanks, but i wasnt going to be using a Dealer as there arent any near me . Guess i will just need to strip it out 1st .

Sometimes having new clutch ready
may not work as flywheel may need skimming... have you tried emmark for

Been a long time since I had anything to do with splitting an MF but seem to remember it could be a surprise when you got them apart sometimes!

Thanks masseybreaker . That pressure plate with that part number looks correct from looking in the inspection plate at bottom of bellhousing. Photo attached.
The clutch friction disc part number throws up both 6 and 7 paddle types.
Thanks for the help . This will almost certainly be the 1st time that this tractor has had the clutch done. done.

Flywheel will definitely need skimming or replacing. I would also reseal the slave cylinder but I believe seals are no longer available and it is a complete unit now.

Really Andy . Is flywheel skimming normal on these ? Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Yes I'm guessing you will find most of the wear will be in the flywheel and pressure plate rather than the disc.

Every days a school day !. Will update as soon as its split.

The early 6 paddle discs were very hard. Later ones were a bit softer.

If it was me id buy a new flywheel instead of skimming the old 1

So would i. You'll get a new ring gear then too

 

[Fordson]

New flywheel quite cheap relatively speaking ? Learning fast here !!!, Spoilt by Fordson type maintenance i am afraid..............

Will it matter if the new clutch disc is 6 paddle or 7 paddle then ?

I thought the 6 paddle changed to a 7 paddle.
