Well I have not much to add here, clutch brakes are a yanky thing more than a thing for the rest of the world we just sort of feel the gears and and slot it when parked in traffic, no biggie once your used to it 1/2 inch is normal Free play is more important than the factory spec, as long as you have 1 - 2 inches of free play on the pedal I think your good to go Guessing the self adjustment has seized up due to lack of use Good job Geoff Weeks on finding the manual, and yes, if I ever had the box out I would put a clutch brake in, then get used to driving it again with a clutch brake Happy New Year everyone, I missed it and was in the fart sack by 9.30pm Paul

Thanks but I already have a reman on the way. I am glad to know there are some out there. I was beginning to wonder. Do you have a salvage yard or just deal with certain parts?

That is a passenger side window motor for an F-model, and I guess a R-model also. I dealt with them in the late 70s, still have some old ones laying around. There is a female square drive that slips over the square stud that passes through the door guts

I’m glad you did,, Good memories!

🍻

Cha Ching...... Another $300. Ugh. Front and rear seal with wear sleeve.

I absolutely have not figured anything out lol. I’ve been working too much since I made this post to even try to figure something out. I’m hoping somebody who knows can prevent me from going and buying handfuls of nuts lol

Thanks. Felt a little nosey ask'n, but I figured you were in there as a kid. Good stuff

I just noticed your post was Sunday. I’m sure you figured something out by now.

If you have a shop, I’m sure there’s something around there you can use good luck

Sorry I don’t know I’ve had. I have a 66 DM. I don’t know if they’re the same size they don’t have to be acorn nuts to fit. I’m just guessing maybe 3/8 fine thread

🤷‍♂️ sometimes when those self adjusting ones stop self adjusting, it's cause they shouldn't be adjusted any more. Clutch becomes hard as a rock to push in and usually no longer engages smoothly. I think F has the right idea.

Excellent nice work. Happy new year to you and yours…. Bob

Also same thing with my pop I have never seen him call off bob

Excellent thanks for that dean. I had a 48 Plymouth in the 70s that looked around the same as that one.

Hehe mark I guess that… my manual isn’t much help either it’s dated 83

Excellent

This number is on the block.

The 1/2" measurement is so the linkage has enough travel before it squeezes the clutch brake. Since you don't have a clutch brake installed you can ignore this measurement and just set the ~9/16" measurement between the T/O bearing and the clutch cover with the pedal pressed Why you don't have a clutch brake is anyone's guess. The 9/16" will put the throw-out in the area where it should be. You can check the free play when it is set there. With a properly set-up clutch and linkage, you want free play at the top, the arm set to where it has the most mechanical advantage when pulling in the angle spring, and enough travel before the clutch brake is squeezed against the bearing retainer to full release the clutch. It is all in the manual I posted a link too. Without a clutch brake installed, setting the T/O where it is at the best mechanical advantage on the lever and still maintains the correct free play is all you need to worry about. If the trans is ever pulled, I would install a torque limiting clutch brake, I wouldn't bother installing a 2 piece brake (just me, you do what you want) and just wait a bit for the gears to stop spinning before putting in low or reverse.

I acquired a Mack F700 about a year ago. Finally got around to getting it to run over my Christmas break. It has no throttle response and wants to run wide open. The fuel stop does not function either. I think the linkages for these are stuck inside the injection pump. can you please help identify my engine and injection pump.

If You can get it into gear with out grinding AND you have the Inch and a half on the pedal I agree leave the bear sleeping! If it aint broke don't fix it! never seen one with out a clutch brake how ever ! in a unit this old they tended to put a spring loaded plate on the trans side for the brake to but against this one apears to have nothing! A picture with the pedal to the floor would maybe tell us if the brake is there or not!

Try manders in lakeville minn. terry

I have several used and a rebuilt ?
