When a client in Marble Falls, TX, contacted us about their New Holland tractor losing power and struggling to shift gears, we knew a major repair was needed. After inspecting the machine, we confirmed the clutch was failing and required replacement. To access it, we had to split the tractor, separating it into two halves.
Diagnosing the Issue
Our client reported slipping gears and power loss, making operation difficult. After performing diagnostic tests, we confirmed excessive clutch wear and recommended a full replacement. We explained the process and timeline to the client to ensure clarity.
Preparing for the Split
Safety and precision were our priorities. We parked the tractor on a level surface, secured it with wheel chocks, and used jack stands. Before splitting the tractor, we disconnected the battery, hydraulic lines, and electrical components. Attachments were removed for better access to the clutch assembly.
The Splitting Process
Once prepped, we unbolted the front and rear halves of the tractor. Using a splitting stand and jacks, we rolled the front half forward, exposing the worn clutch. The pressure plate and disc were severely damaged, confirming the need for a full replacement. We installed a new clutch kit, aligning it precisely for optimal performance.
Reassembly and Testing
With the new clutch in place, we reconnected hydraulic lines, electrical components, and linkages. After securing the tractor, we refilled fluids and conducted a final inspection. When we started the engine and tested the gears, the tractor shifted smoothly and operated at full power; our client was thrilled with the results.
