So to update, finally ran out of excuses, got the new valve control installed. The truck then went hard right instead of left, managed to adjust the valve, you have to turn the valve from the end that has the cover plate on it. The valve is too wide to use a screwdriver and has limited...

msgjd, So I went to eBay and sure enough nos valve assembly for $95 plus $15 for shipping. of course always looking for a better deal, call Memphis Equipment, they have one too, but used not rebuilt and they only wanted $500 usAmerican dollars, so have the eBay one the way, Hope to...

Thanks Guys, Hoping what Memphis Equipment suggested does the trick, Think I’ll have a chance to play with it tomorrow. My steering was working ok just leaving a visible trail behind the truck , you could track the old girl from the oil she was leaving . Anyway since my control valve...

Talked with them this morning, got some ideas to try,

The wheels turn HARD Left as soon as I crank the engine Had a bad hydraulic leak in my gear box, ended up buying a rebuilt one from Memphis Equipment, The install went fair enough, the new unit did not come with the hydraulic control that mounts on the gear box, so transferred the old one...

Just wanted to update the thread, Was able to do the clutch job yesterday, Removing the drive shafts shifter, clutch linkage, pto shaft, all went smooth. Getting the bolts out of the transmission, easy enough. Spent some time rigging ratchet straps ( used several) to support the transmission...

Thanks for the tip, clutch already showed up, out of excuses going to start on it today

Thanks for the input, got a clutch assembly coming from Memphis Equipment, simp , I am on a farm outside Bell Buckle, close to Murfreesboro

simp, I think you were the guy that posted the parts list I found last night , didn’t see any m51 multi fuel parts, do you know a parts number for the clutch assembly?

I was afraid you guys were going to say that, Guess I’ll be spending the next few days under the truck. Thanks for the advice, just wanted to be sure before I started dropping the transmission.

When I look thru the inspection hole what am I looking for? Not seeing much except the edge of the clutch and pressure plate l think. Also I have noticed the clutch is easier to press, and when depressed I can hear a little bearing noise, guessing some pressure is being applied to the...

I had pulled the inspection plate , looked in it but couldn’t tell much. Up till now the clutch had been flawless, smooth when engaging, does not slip. My understanding is the linkage presses against the throwout bearing, separating the clutch from the flywheel overcoming the springs in the...

M51 Clutch issues, I can’t get the clutch to disengage when depressing the clutch pedal. First noticed a change in the friction point the other day, the pedal was much closer to the floor (full travel) before the clutch would disengage. I attempted to adjust the linkage and thought it was some...

Yes I did, the spring got tweaked just a little but that was enough to keep it from staying in the grove. I finally gave up on that spring since I had one from the old sprag that was not miss formed. That did the trick for me. Hope it helps

Oh nooooooo. It’s going to be awhile before I am willing to take that thing back apart. not sure if I got it corrected before I put it back together. Will sure try the test by jacking the front.
