Information about New Holland Straw Chopper Clutch

[Stanford.brains]

Working on the straw chopper clutch of a new holland combine can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with older models like the TX66, they can be quite finicky, and replacement parts can be quite expensive so if you're experiencing issues such as rattling or slipping, it's essential to inspect the clutch thoroughly. In some cases, the clutch pressure may need adjustment and on certain models, there's a notched wheel on the back side of the clutch that can be turned to adjust the pressure. This wheel is typically held in place by a spring-loaded pin, which needs to be depressed to make adjustments

Adjusting the TX66 clutch can be a bit tough. That notched wheel trick does the job, but you've got to be gentle with the spring pin. For those annoying rattles or slips, take a look at the clutch disc before you mess with the pressure settings.
