Clutch - MASSEY FERGUSON 410 Operators Instruction Book

Radiator
Check the radiator fins for blockage - Flexible
maintenance.
The radiator fins (Fig. 97) must be checked for
blockage, they can be cleaned by blowing with
compressed air or a high-pressure washer not
exceeding 7 bar (100 psi). First remove the battery
then clean from the rear of the radiator and remove
the side panels to allow debris to escape. Fins blocked
with oily substances may be cleaned with a detergent
solution, preferably applied with a high pressure
washer. Check the coolant level and add coolant if
needed. Check the hoses, radiator, and pump for
leaks
NOTE: It is advisable to use Massey Ferguson
antifreeze, it contains inhibitors to protect your engine.

Clutch

Main clutch adjustment
Check the clutch adjustment every 100 hours.
When the tractor enters service, or has new clutch
linings fitted, the clutch must be carefully bedded in.
The clutch pedal linkage must be checked frequently
during the first 50 hours and necessary adjustments
made immediately. Subsequent checks must be
made at 100 hour intervals.
Procedure:
1. Insert a solid bar in the hole at the end of the clutch
operating shaft (1,Fig. 98) and rotate it clockwise
until resistance is felt.
2. Slacken the clamp bolt (2) securing the arm to the
shaft and set the distance between the lever (3) and
the stop plate (4) to 4 mm (0.156 in). This will give
a free pedal movement of 25 mm (1 in) at the pad.
3. Retighten the clamp bolt (2). Press the clutch pedal
down through its full travel five times, recheck the
free travel and readjust if necessary.
Live PTO clutch
Check the clutch setting every 1000 hours.
NOTE: Tractors with IPTO and single plate clutches
DO NOT require this adjustment.
Check the clutch adjustment more frequently if heavy
PTO work has been involved.
1. Remove the four bolts and the inspection cover
from the underside of the clutch housing (Fig. 99).
2. Unplug harness from the fuel shut-off solenoid,
then rotate the engine until one of the three adjusters
is visible in the inspection aperture.
3. With the aid of a feeler gauge, check the clearance
'A' between the bolt head and the clutch plate. It
should be 1.8 mm (0.070 in).
4. If adjustment is required, slacken the nut and adjust
the bolt to the correct clearance and retighten the
nut.
5. Carry out the same procedure for the other two
adjusters and replace the inspection cover.
6. Plug the harness for the fuel shut-off solenoid.
