579 RSW Putting A New Clutch In A 1960 MF 35 Tractor

Overview

This is a full DIY clutch replacement on a 1960 MF-35, filmed by the owner as he splits the tractor and works through the job in real time, mistakes included. It covers pulling the old bearing (using a bread-packing trick), building a homemade hydraulic press to remove the throw-out bearing, torquing bolts, wrestling with driveline alignment, and reassembly problems like broken bolts and exhaust leaks. Best for owners planning their own clutch job who want an honest, unpolished walkthrough rather than a clean tutorial.
