M9000 Clutch Bearing Greasing

[dvcochran]

The clutch on my 2003 M9000 makes a mild noise when setting still. It shifts and pull fine. Is there a way to grease the bearing? The tractor has about 1100 hours on it. Thanks,

I don't believe so but then I don't have clutches on mine.

I am not familiar with your specific tractor, but is the clutch adjusted correctly?

Some tractors have a grease fitting to put grease in the housing that holds the throw out bearing, but even that does not put any grease into the TO bearing. If you put too much grease in that fitting you cause a mess with grease all over inside the clutch housing. Probably one pump every couple of years is all one would ever need.

Is it a rattle, tapping kind of sound?

If the clutch is adjusted correctly, the release bearing should not contact the pressure plate with the clutch pedal in fully engaged position, and the release bearing should be silent.

I would say closer to a rattle.
I am also wondering what do the TWO adjusting bolts connected to the clutch arm do? One sets the release point of the pedal and the other does ???
I have never put the tractor under a super load like tillage but it has always pulled fine.

Some tractors have a two stage clutch. Some have a lever mounted to the frame that can be rotated to two positions. One stops the clutch from moving any further and is used when operating the tractor without using the PTO. When the lever is flipped to the other position the clutch will move further and activated the other clutch. This position allows the PTO to operate while the tractor is not moving.

Not sure on your tractor, just an idea!

M9's all have a single stage clutch. The PTO drive is a hydraulic pack similar to the hydraulic shuttle and drive for it comes off the mainshaft. Nice seat btw. Had to odder a new base, the OEM base was twisted. Got that from Rural King as well.

My first 9000 didn't do this but my second does. It has a rattle that will quit or change when the clutch is pushed in. Like to have drove me crazy but it's the drawbar. Hook something to it and the noise stops.

Side note, is that a Vermeer 504 Super I you have listed?
Just curious, I have one myself.

Haha, yes I also figured out the odd drawbar rattle.

Seems as though Vermeer haytools are popular everywhere but here. Around here, it's CNH (which I have) or JD (which I don't care for). Dealer keeps trying to get me to demo a Kubota twine / net round baler and he has a nice new trailing rake as well.

Right now, on the fence. The Kubota baler will wrap with 52 over the edge net like i like (and my customer likes) but the twine box is limited in capacity. My 450 NH holds 4 mega balls, the Kubby holds 2. My 450 carries a spare roll of net, the Kubby don't.

Really need a new rake, my H&S single rotor is 25 years old and showing it's age but the Kubby is a trailer with hydraulic lift and I'd prefer a headstock rake just for the ability to pick it up and turn sharp on the headlands.

Decisions, decisions. Kubby is still at 5 years 0 percent.

Yes it is. I had to do a little work on the pickup but it has been a good little baler. It can make a tighter/heavier bale than my Rancher. They have been ran in the same fields and we weighed the bales on our livestock scales.

I'm also running a 04 M9000 but my balers are both 604 Super J's hydralic tie. That is an absolutely indestructable combination. One baler has never let us down in 30k + bales and the M9000 just hit 24k hours. I ran across a killer deal on a second 604 super j for $1600 in the spring and its in better shape than our old one as far as chains and sprockets and belts goes.
