Hi all;
Can anyone tell me the setup dimension (depth of throat) for the tool to set up the steering clutch pressure plate. I have seen a picture of it and there was a dimension of 2.012 in a thread somewhere but it may have been for the engine clutch.
I am planning to build two clutch packs from salvage parts today and it would be nice to start off with the correct height on the fingers.
Many thanks to all, for your topics and administration. I read and learn every day from the experiences of others here. I hope to get my photobucket working soon and post some pics.........
Forum, pm, or email ............derf..........

I don't know the dimensions, but I think Lavoy still sells a version of the JD gauge for a reasonable price.
(1) JD Straight 450 crawler dozer with manual outside blade; (2) JD 2010 diesel crawler loaders; (1) JD 2010 diesel dozer with hydraulic 6-way blade; (2) Model 50 backhoe attachments, misc. other construction equipment
Thank you Tigerhaze, Yes, I think Lavoy probably has the gauge, but it is about two weeks away and a bunch of canadian bucks to boot. Surely someone knows the measurement, surprised the JD manuals don't spell it out, not that I could see anyhow..

Had a good day today, cleaning up clutch and pressure plate parts. Took a few pressure plates apart and lightly refaced a couple in the lathe. they look great. I'm working on 420 finals for my MC and I have no less than 2 parts donor machines, so a lot of pieces to choose from, I'm old but just a retired rookie on crawlers...
I will probably use some of my preloading skills (I learned a lot here) this weekend, to assemble the final gearing...
I still need the measurement for the pressure plate finger setting, but that will come to me or I will "wing" it....
Someone asked about the equalizer spring between the two axels.. Well the one I have measures about 1 and 13/16" long and wire size is .120. It looks like a light valve spring and doesn't have big tension. Of the two 420 donors and the MC only the MC had the spring. The manuals show they all should have a spring and all the same part number.
"Good Rule to remember" An old pro told me a long time ago. " Don't even think about going under a machine to replace the oil drain plug until you have the wrench that fits it in your other hand"
