Question very little clutch clearance 930/SBC

Hi All,

running sbc and 930 box, adapted using a complete set-up from Kennedy consisting of adaptor plate, clutch and flywheel. Looks really tight in there - is it normal? I'd prefer to see 5mm or so.... I've only got about 50 thou with the crank at the rearward limit of float.

Thanks, Andrew

This is exactly the same situation with my LS/930 adapter kit as well. Very close!

Re: very little clutch clearance 930/SBC

You'll be good to go guys, this is German precise, specific engineering --if they specify 1/1000 mm as clearance --they mean it --not like that other agricultural "engineered" products that need 1/2" clearance
The only thing of concern would be debri of the roads - that will wedge them selves between the small clearances, ie. use some fine mesh screening over apertures
