D2 5U main clutch cover,Help Required

Hi Team,
can you undo the bolts holding on the brake pedal mount housing and then lay the pedal/mount back towards the rear of the machine to gain clearance.

My OMI addition for the Oil Clutch Service Information, it shows the clutch operators lever removed from its shaft.

In part of the text under NOTE is a piece of what looks to be heavy gauge wire linked from said shaft into the clutch cover opening is holding up and in a certain position the throw out fork lever--forward of centre --it says to facilitate cover removal and replacement.
I feel you may need to run another piece from to fork out and over to the vertical control shaft to hold the fork in a neutral position as I can see one wire pulling it rearwards due to the weight of the rod, fork etc.

Picture is dark and may not copy well.

Have not time to copy said instruction now and will see how I go tomorrow--
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hi Team,
here are scans from a Cat Release with the introduction of the Oil Clutch, Form No 30942, Dated 11-53 for Tractors S/No's
4U 6373-up and 5U 13237-up.
Missing are the front and rear pages that do not have data for servicing on them.

Hope these help--save them now if you have a D2 as such.

Cheers,
Eddie B.

Thankyou Eddie for the replies and literature.
I have found that Putting the cover back on by yourself is a real battle and so still haven't got it on yet.
I hope to get some time and help latter this week.

Morning All
with some help from a neighbour I managed to get it all back together. Was wondering is there a genuine washer that goes at 5 in this picture? my parts book doesn't list it, however shows it several times.
IMO It must help set the vertical clearance on the fork and thrust BRG collar.

Hi Team,
I do not have a Parts Book for a later D2 with your clutch cover, BUT, in my post #3, the last scan shows both a washer (😎 and a seal (7) on the shaft below the outer lever so I assume they should be shown in a Parts Book.

I have included a Service Mag. article from which covers mods before your S/No and cover, but may have relevant P/No's for you for the washers--(S94) = 0S 0094.

Thanks Eddie
After looking at the machine today that service mag article makes good sense Regarding the two S94 washers.The parts book shows the S94 washer x 1 only which didn't make sense to me.
That S94 washer is just a plain washer nothing special, so I will machine one up to suit.
Also the clutch seems to have a slight rattle to it while engaged or disengaged. I think it is the back lash between the teeth on the plate and flywheel. I don't recall it being there before but think it has developed since I have cleaned the crud off the teeth while it was dismantled. I hope to get down to Mike's one day to return a Carby body of his, and at the same time maybe check out his d2 clutch.
That way at least I'll know what's normal and what's not.
