Farmall M Clutch Pressure Plate Adjustment

Mike Farmer · Nov 28, 2008

Can I have some assistance please. I am rebuilding an M pressure plate and my manual does not give the "as new" measurements. My H manual gives the following: - Front of pressure Plate to front of backplate 27/32", and the front of pressure plate to to the highest point of the actuating fingers as 2-5/32". Those are the settings I've used in the past for the H and they work just fine.
My question is this: - Is the M the same? and if not can someone please supply me with the correct measurements. Thank you have a nice day MTF

I am sure they are different. Uniform finger height is most important. Put them at near the midpoint of their adjuster travel, and equal distance. Throwout and freeplay adjustment will compensate. JimN

Thank you for that but if you do know anyone with the correct "figures" I really would be very much obliged MTF

I do not. I have replaces a couple of hundred clutches. in a wide variety of units. They often do not even have adjustment for the finger height. There ids a spec in the manual.(I would visit a dealer and photocoppy the page.) It is critical to have them equal. but not to a precice specifik height. JimN

Thanks again for that Jim. Like you I have done many clutches over the years, but with this one I have been to a lot of trouble pressure testing the springs and using crack detector on the plates etc, that I thought it would be nice to have it "right". As I say thanks a million Mike
