The clutch on my 1948 TE-20 won't engage. You can feel some resistance,but it doesn't seem to be engaging the tractor does try to move when you let it out. And, more importantly, how can I fix it? Is spliting the tractor that tuff? Thanks for any suggestions.

How far down do you have to press the clutch pedal before you feel any resistance? If you feel resistance and its right at the bottom of the pedal travel then your clutch is Way out of adjustment. Was it always this way? If not then the tractor will have to be split... Before doing that though I'd try to adjust the clutch pedal. If you've tried this to no avail, then split the tractor, if not on the lower left, at the base of the clutch pedal you'll find an 11/16 nut and bolt that goes through the clutch pedal. loosen that nut and bolt, place a wrench on the square end of the clutch shaft, turn it clockwise until it stops. The clutch release bearing is now against the pressure plate fingers... while holding the shaft in that position lift the clutch pedal upwards and tighten the nut and bolt(This operation takes at least 3 hands). The clutch will be adjusted properly when the clutch pedal has 3/16" free travel when measured from the pedal stop (foot peg). Let me know what the outcome is... ciao!

I encountered an almost identical problem with my 1948 TE20. The only way to successfully adress the problem is to split the tractor. With no vast mechanical knowledge I was also reluctant to split my TE20. It is really not that difficult a job. My tractor is still in half at pressent as I am awaiting parts, if you have any questions post a followup and I shall get back to you, regards Mike.
