B1550-HST clutch

Clutch grenaded. Should I replace the pressure plate as well?

You should replace 5 parts while your in there.
The throw-out bearing, the pressure plate, the clutch disk, the pilot bearing and the pilot bearing seal.

Has to be a rhetorical question!!

And if you want to go further, consider the engine rear main seal, and the input shaft, as it may be a bit flogged by the looks of the clutch center spline.

Replacing all parts definitely. The wsm says to inspect the plate surface for scratches or cracks so ...yeah ...the input shaft was fine though. The wsm download has been a huge help.

Item description for parts kit says release bearing. Is that the throwout or pilot bearing?

Got all my parts ,thanks for the pn's very helpful. What is the correct removal procedure of the pilot bushing? That thing is stubborn! I've tried using the inner hole and pulling with a custom hook tool. About ready to just use excessive force! TIA.

zmanfj40, make a wooden dowel that "just" fits into the existing bearing. You can make this from an existing piece of wood you may have, or use a piece of a broom handle and work the OD down on your bench grinder. Make it so it just barely fits into your new bearing.

Then fill the hole inside the bearing with grease from your grease gun. Put your dowel in the hole and tap it with a hammer. You may have to do this process a couple of times(and add some grease) but it will come out.

Hydraulic pressure at its best!!

Here's a picture. This is the same process used to remove the bearing on an L2050.

Wow 'Cat - - that there is fascinating!

Ingenious is the other word that comes to mind....

The picture helped me, hope it helps the OP as much..

'Nuf said, don't want to get the thread off-track....

Serious question. What would cause this in HST tractor? I only use my clutch to start the thing. Seems to me, the clutch should last forever.

Wondered the same question myself until I only had three bolts left holding the case to the engine. The PO had neglected to tighten the loader subframe bolts causing flex at the case and shearing bolts, the output shaft destroyed the weakest link (clutch). That's what I concluded. This tractor has been a great learning tool for repairs and system functions that I never cared to know about! [emoji16]

Good to know for future reference.
