Clutch soaking

Postby Hoss71 » Wed May 28, 2014 5:31 pm

Hello all. We are about to put a clutch in the 75 cub and my friend said he thought we had to soak the clutch in something. Does anybody know anything about this. Please let me know. Thanks JIM

Do not soak the clutch! It is the trow out bearing that need to be well soaked in light oil. Some will say the longer it soaks the better. I'm sure more to come on this subject.

Also make sure that you pump grease into the zerc until it comes out the weep hole on the opposite side. You want to use a cheap (low temperature) grease that will break down and flow through the graphite. The Case/IH TOB used to come in a plastic bag and you could tell that they were "pre-oiled". If it didn't come that way, do as midmo suggested. Also, make sure you adjust the fingers after the pressure plate is attached to the flywheel.

In addition to what has already been said, the supposedly pre-adjusted pressure plates are not properly adjusted.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
