John Deere clutch - new dogs, toggles, and pins

[@jhurt4227]

1. Can the grease fitting at 7 miniute into your video be reached w/o removing entire belt pulley assembly?
2. How far does the right rear wheel need to be spaced to pull off belt pulley?
3. My only 720 D clutch issue is a very stiff over-the-top movement. Any suggestions?
4. I am a healthy, fairly strong 82 Y. O. , but I am concerned. How heavy is the belt pulley you remounted?

The grease fitting can only be reached if the pulley assembly is removed. There’s about 8-8.5” between the pulley and the rear tire, it was tight but I was able to get it out. The pulley assembly is probably 40lbs. Check out our clutch adjustment video, might need some tinkering if it’s too stiff

okay now ive got a jd 50 and had to go through my clutch. where did you find the pin? on Steiner i could not find one

You’ll have to go through John Deere

[@ericpolach8507]

Did you have to remove the rear gear to get the shield off to reach the dogs

[@oakwoodstockfarm7017]

Nope, on the earlier models I think you might have to but not 100% sure

Great video I learned alot,is the clutch assembly on your 720 the same as a 620 ?

[@oakwoodstockfarm7017]

Very similar, 720 is a bit bigger and I think has more discs

what is the best grease to use on the dogs and toggles

[@oakwoodstockfarm7017]

Any bearing grease will work, I use the traveller brand from tractor supply

@@oakwoodstockfarm7017 thanks also when u put the pulley back on did u use anything on the oil seal

[@oakwoodstockfarm7017]

@@michaeledler2968 if you’re talking about the gasket against the tractor, I did not use anything besides the gasket itself, no issues
