Broken clutch pivot arm on 1970s tractor.

Recommended Posts

The clutch rod pivot arm connected to my brake/clutch pedal has broken, and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it, or if it can or rig up some replacement.

 

This is appears to be a cast iron piece. In the worst case, I think I could probably epoxy this, and it would "work", but being that this is both clutch and *brake*, that makes me a bit nervous. It's got to be reliable. Better would be if I could find a replacement part somewhere, or rig up some reliable alternative. I just don't know what this precise piece is. 

 

I've got a 1970's (??) C-120 8 speed manual, with a kohler 12HP k301. I'm not exactly sure what year. The clutch pedal on my model is on the left, and is also the brake. I do not have separate pedals. In the IPLs for 1974, 1975  this is part doesn't look quite the same as mine. The serial number seems to indicate the 1973 Raider 12. Huh. I always thought it was a C-120.

 

OK, so, this looks like part 4899, which I've not been able to find anywhere, so far.

 

It appears to me that this cast piece may be connected to that rod via a pin of some sort...but I don't see any hole on the other side of the cast piece. Might it just be painted over?

 

This is a tractor I use hard, and regularly. Although it has sentimental value, it's not for pretty - I don't care what it looks like. Any functional solutions/suggestions are welcome.

Some times those parts actually have the number cast or stamped into them.

 

You are correct the brake arm is held on by a roll pin.

Your tractor was named a Raider 12 for the export market.

4988 is correct and the roll pin or scroll pin is 1/8" x 1-1/4" - not a split pin which is weaker.

Grrr. Any tricks to getting this off? The pin won't move. A cut off nail is too soft - bends. I broke a punch, and only succeeded in moving it maybe 1/16th of an inch. I've put a little pb blaster on it in hopes that it can work its way around the pin and provide a little lubrication....but I'm not holding my breath.

You really should use a 1/8" ROLL PIN punch to get the pin out.  It has a nipple on the end to prevent flaring out the pin...like a flat-face punch or nail would do.  With a ROLL PIN punch, mine came right out.

Good to know. Well, I've got to replace a punch anyway, I may as well get the proper tool for the job. :-)
