OK, got the tractor apart the clutch plate out the disc replaced. Getting ready to reassemble. How tight should the disc be in between the two clutch plates? Should it be free or snug?

Looks released now, you need to install it to adjust it properly.

I think it should be centered and then locked in. Or else run a string around it and tape on with some sort of flimsy tape so it diesnt slip off and run the ends up out the adjustment cover so you can lift the disk up into alignment with the flywheel gear as you pull the tractor back together.

D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

Finish assembly, adjust it and lock it with the disc centred to slide the flywheel over it on refitting the engine.

OK, I figured it out. I was just overthinking it. Once the assembly goes back into the housing, the disk slips into the fly will. Thanks
