Cockshutt 30 PTO clutch adjustment?

Tractorcedric · May 13, 2021

So I have it off and if I take out just the shims (.22) I can still snap it over center with just my hands. If I put the shims back in and take out one washer (.50) I can not snap it over center with my hands. That is with it out of the tractor and just the flywheel held in the vise. I want to run a BZ4 water pump with it. What method was used to measure the amount of pull on the lever for correct adjustment. I see that there is a set of stiff springs in the pressure plate as well. I have only used the PTO one time and as soon as I noticed it slipping I took the load off of it.

Try the Oliver, Cletrac, Cockshutt forum here at YT. Lots of expertise there although that forum is not nearly as busy as this one. Somebody will help you out. Your title is good, it'll grab someone's attention. Also Google something like COCKSHUTT DISCUSSION FORUMS ..... there are other sites similar to this one.

I have three COOPs and have been in those clutches on all of them. Snapping them in by hand and with the lever is way different. I have seen several thicknesses of the shims and some home made ones. I've also never found anything resembling a spec for setting them. FIL used them for a long time and would change out bearings with home made gaskets and never had a preload spec.

Its a hit or miss deal for sure.When I put new PTO plates in my gas Oliver 1550 apparently the new plates were thicker than original had to get more shims off a parts tractor to make it work.

Just give Phil Heisey a call. 215-256-8651. He has the parts and knowledge on Cockshutt's and Co-op's
