1.DRY TYPE, SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH
■ Clutch “Engaged”
When the clutch peda l is not depressed, the clutch
release bearing (9) a nd the finger s of diaphragm spring
(5) are not connected to each other.
Accordingly, the pressure plate (4) is tightly pressed
against the flywheel (1) by the diaphragm spring (5). As
a result, rotation of the fly wheel (1) is trans mitted to the
transmission through the clutch shaft (10) due to the
frictional force among the flywheel (1), clutch disc (2) and
pressure plate (4).
When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch pedal
rod is pulled to move the clutch rod (7). Then, the
release fork (6) push es the release hub (8) and release
bearing (9) toward the flywheel. Simultaneously, the
release bearing (9) pushes the diaphragm spring (5).
As the pressure plate (4) is pulled by the diaphragm
spring (5), the frictional force among the flywheel (1),
clutch disc (2) and pressure plate (4) disappears.
Therefore, rotation of the flywheel (1) is not
transmitted to the clutch disc (2), and then the rotation of
the clutch shaft (10) stops.
A dual stage clutch is a combination of two single
plate clutches. One clutch controls power transmitted to
travelling, and the other to the PTO.
■ Travelling Clutch “Engaged”
■ PTO Clutch “Engaged”
When the clutch p edal is not depressed, there is a
certain amount of clearance between the release bearing
(17) and the adjusting screw (16) mounted on the release
lever (15). Under the conditions above;
• The travelling clutch disc (10) is pressed between the
flywheel (1) and the pressur e plate 1 (2) by the forc e
of the belleville spring (11).
• The PTO clutch disc (12) is pressed between the
clutch cover 1 ( 4) an d th e pr ess ur e p late 2 ( 5 ) b y the
force of the belleville spring (14).
Thus, the rotation of flywhe el is transmitted to both
When the clutch ped al is depressed t o the middle of
the stroke, the clutch rod (9) is pushed to move the clutch
lever (8). Then, the release for k (7) push es the releas e
hub (19) and release bearing (18) toward the flywhee l.
Simultaneously, the release bearing (18) pushes the
adjusting screw (17) attached to the release lever (16).
The release lever pulls the pressure plate 1 (2) by
means of the releas e rod (13) as the lever t urns at the
clevis pin (15) as a fulcrum.
When the pressure plate 1 is pulled, friction force
among the clutch cover 1 (4), cl utch disc (10) and the
pressure plate 1 (2) is lost. The rotation of flywheel is not
transmitted to travelling system.
At this time, the pressure plate 2 (5) is in contact with
the head of the adju sting screw (3) which serves as a
stopper.
When the clutch contr ol valve is a t “Neutral” position, the oi l from hydraulic pump does not flow t o clutch pac k.
Therefore the power from input shaft (1) is not transmitted to output shaft (7).
When the clutch control v alve is set at “Forward” position, the oil from hydra ulic pu mp fl ows to the f orward side
of the clutch pack (4). As a result, power is transmitted from input shaft (1) to output shaft (7) through clutch pack (4).
When the clutch control valve is set at “Reverse” position, the oil from hydraulic pump flows to the reverse side of
the clutch pack (3). As a result, power is transmitted from input shaft (1) to output shaft (7).

[2]TYPE 2 (For PTO)
CLUTCH
When the clutch control valve is set at the
“ENGAGED” position, the oil from hydraulic pump flows
to clutch valve. Oil entering the clutc h pack pushes the
piston (2) to engage the clutch pack.
When the clutch control valve is set at the
“DISENGAGED” position, the oil from hydrau lic pump
stopped and the o il in th e c lu tc h p ack is drai ne d i nto the
transmission case. Thus the piston (2) is pushed back by
the return spring (7). When the piston (2) is pushed
back, the brake pl ate (8) is also moved to contact the
brake disc (9) so as to stop the rotati on and drag of the
PTO shaft.

In sliding mesh type, when the speed is selected, the
sliding gear is sl ide on the shaft and engaging gears to
enable the transmission of power.

[2]CONSTANT MESH TYPE
TRANSMISSION
In constant mesh type, each gear always engaged
with its opponent gear. When the speed is selected by
this type, shifter on the shaft slides to eng age the gear
and shaft. As a result, the transmission of power
becomes possible.
The constant mesh type have the advantage of much
less frequency in gear breakage compared to sliding
mesh type.

[3]SYNCHRONOUS MESH TYPE
TRANSMISSION
Synchronous mesh type transmits power by sliding
the shifter as well as constant mesh type.
However, the rotation of driving side parts and driven
side parts is sy nc hr on iz ed wit h s y nc hrono us me sh type,
and to facilitate changing the speed, synchronizer is
installed.
Therefore, it is poss ible to change the speed in this
type while the tractor even is moving.

2.HYDRAULIC SHUTTLE SHIFT
[1]HYDRAULIC SHUTTLE SHIFT
The hydraulic shuttle shift allows the operators to
change forward and reverse with a shuttle lever.
When the shuttle lever is move to the “Forward” or
“Reverse” position, each side of th e hydraulic c lutch is
engaged. The power is transmitted as follows
■ Forward
Input Shaft (1) → Shuttle Clutc h Body (4) → Clutch
Disc and Plate (8) → 28T Gear (5) → 1st Shaft (6)
