Last question for this project, I hope!
When trying to adjust the clutch, the 2-4 mm of play in the pedal seems to be impossible to achieve. I feel like I am able to study this very clearly and this is what I observe. If any forward motion is placed on the pedal, with or without a spring in place, the clutch fork assembly rotates and therefor my throwout/release bearing moves forward. When slowly pressing the peddle, with no spring force involved, I do feel like there is a point where the release bearing holder and bearing take a slight bit more force to continue the motion forward. Is this the point I am trying to identify, to set my 8mm of gap between stop bolt and frame? I feel the adjustment was totally out of wack from when I first received the tractor, so I don't feel like I have a good point of reference to understand how it should have been set up. My thinking was, feel for the point where a slight bit more force is needed to continue engaging release bearing, make that my 8 mm gap from frame with bolt, then adjust rod length, so that there is additional 2-4 mm of "play". It just seems this will mean the release bearing is always partially engaged and not resting against rear of bell housing, which seems correct.
