:+1: I also found this info from another clutch thread very helpful when adjusting my clutch:Bart said:The fan nut should be snugged down tightly enough to hold all the parts in place but not so tight that you can't turn the large hex nut without a wrench. It may be necessary to snug up the fan nut a bit as you tighten the hex nut to maintain pressure on the hex nut.
BobMacGregor said:Unfortunately the service manual doesn't address the fact that the flywheel needs to be kept from moving when performing these adjustments. The flywheel will almost always turn when adjusting the 1 3/4" nut and torquing the fan nut preventing you from obtaining a correct adjustment. Just one of those facts of Case/Ingersoll life. I have found the threads on the stud need to be chased periodically also.
I use a Snap-On # A176 adjustable pin spanner, but anyone can take a piece of metal flatbar, drill two 1/4" holes spaced to the holes on an Onan flywheel screen and install two 1/4" bolts and nuts to hold the bolts in place. You can also drill and tap the holes for the bolts. Let the flywheel rotate clockwise until the tool rests on the left side tractor frame. I no longer adjust to .002"-.007" disc gap, I adjust to the point where there is no drag on the pulley from the disc and lock it up there. You gotta remember to remove this tool before you crank the engine over!!!!

You want to find out NOW whether you got it right, not when the temp is minus 5 with the wind blowing at 30 MPH and 12 inches of snow to deal with. :thumbsup:
