I have an IH-300 with a very worn-out engine clutch and torque amplifier. The T/A works in high, but slips a little in low. The engine clutch is very difficult to disengage, and if I adjust the clutch linkage enough for a good disengage, it starts to slip. I would like to limp this rig through the summer, and split the case next winter. My top priority is getting the engine clutch to disengage enough for easier shifting. Right now I have to go to dead idle, and it still crashes gears at every shift.
Why does the T/A have to be in low for tractors IH with T/A to shift? Why do these T/A's fail on the low side? This doesn't make any sense to me, because the T/A clutch is engaged in high, and disengaged for low. Does anyone have a good explainer that would help me tune this thing up enough to get through the summer? Everything is so loose and beat up that the specs in the manual are impossible to meet presently.
