12F clutch problem

tjdno1 ยท 2015-06-23 00:46

Have a borrowed Cat 12F-73G2813 that has a problem getting it into gear. Was using it for several days, and the last day blading out waterways, it got progressively more difficult to get into gear. It does not slip under load. Is it a frozen release bearing, or some other issue. What is the procedure to set the clutch. Any other advice is welcome. TIA Tim

    12F jesus ? Oil Clutch Sounds likes shes worn out old boy. Used to operate them years ago. There is an adjustment down on the side of the crash box. Different models different set ups. Never used to use the clutch back then just drop the revs and slip er in. BTW never had much brakes neither. Was fun. But what a way to learn ehh. :drinkup
