Kubota f2100e starting to have clutch issue

[cjwilson78154]

Fairly recent purchase about a year ago. Great machine. Recently starting to have a problem adjusting clutch. It was starting to grind a bit engaging the deck blades. Adjusted it to spec from manual. Worked great for next session of mowing. Went out to drive it again today and same problem. I can start the machine with deck engaged and it will mow. There are still threads on the turnbuckle, so I can adjust again. Just wondering if I am up against a clutch replacement, or some other problem. Would love to hear from experts here. Love the machine and am a Kubota fan now.

Yes you're probably going to need to split it and put a clutch in it.

Thanks Wolfman, although not what I wanted to hear. How hard is it to split and do a clutch on this machine?

I was also wondering about shortening the clutch rod. With it adjusted all the way in, there are still an inch of threads showing on both sides of the turnbuckle.

You can try.
