John Deere 790 Clutch Adjustment

This is a narrow how-to on one specific repair: adjusting clutch pedal free play on a John Deere 790 to the 19-22mm (roughly three-quarter inch) spec. The owner diagnoses a loose adjuster lock nut causing clutch grinding, removes the side cover, resets the adjustment screw, and tightens the lock nut, with a plan to recheck after running the tractor. Useful for 790 owners troubleshooting clutch grind or loose pedal feel, not a general overview.
