[AT] 560 clutch

[Jason DeJoode]

When you put the clutch disc in, did you slide the disc back and forth on 
the splines to make sure there were no burrs on the spline where it could 
hang up a bit?  Also it's often recommended to put a very light coat of 
grease on the shaft too.

What might be happening is the disc is binding on the shaft so when you 
release the clutch, the disc binds up a bit on the shaft and starts to move 
the tractor. Then it works it way free again and then grabs good when you 
release the clutch all the way.

Just got our 560 back together and the clutch seems to be engaging twice 
upon letting it out.  Like when I ease off pedal the tractor will start to 
move then upon full release of pedal it engages again.  I have adjusted an 
adjusted T/A and still the same thing. And I know this is not right, has any 
of youall dealt with anything like this ?  For I want to use the tractor to 
plow about 25 acres. And DONT want to be ruining the T/A in the process. And 
the 504 does not do this making me belive that the tractor is starting to 
pull on the T/A clutch first. This is a complete different rear end, the old 
one had T/A eliminator in it so I need any help or info that youall know or 
have dealt with regarding this problem.

 Also Thank everyone for the info on the fuel bowl.
I found a bar of Fels Naptha old one as it had no bar code on the package. 
After pulling a 18" cotton string on the soap to coat it good and using it 
to packthe shut off. I have not had as much as a drip out of the valve.
