500 clutch actuation spindle removal?

Hi,

I'm putting another engine into my Atlas and this one has a cable as opposed to hydraulic clutch. The only difference seems to be the horizontal actuation spindle which is turned to depress the clutch pushrod.

I've removed the 10mm bolt which I thought would then allow the spindle and bush to be tapped through the case but it seems to be held in place by something else but I can't see what. I need to remove the spindle to convert the engine to hydraulic clutch so anyone know how to get this spindle out?

Thanks

Nick :-)
 
Nick,

you need to remove the adjuster srew that bears on the outermost end of the clutch rod, after withdrawing the first bit of clutch rod, the actuating lever/shaft can then be removed from the case.

When swapping to hydraulics, you will need the slightly longer front rod that goes through the guide that is bolted to the cases.

Hi Piet, this is the current state of play. I just don't understand why the spindle doesn't fall through the case - where is this adjuster screw?

If you across from the gearbox output shaft (sprocket) you will see the adjuster screw with the square head and a lock nut.

Hi Nick,
the adjuster screw is the small one on top of the spindle.
If this one is removed it indeed should fall out.

If you have no further use for it after switching to hydraulics, I'll be happy to take it from you.
Mine didn't work as smooth as it should.

Sorted this out by following instructions. In addition to the longer clutch pushrod mentioned by Piet you also have to use the modified tin plate at the fore of the sprocket housing - this is slimmed down on the hydraulic motor to accommodate the hydraulic piston.

Thanks all.
