1952ar John Deere shift fork replacement

[beenthere]

Most guys here wouldn’t know an AR if it ran over them. I haven’t had a two cylinder clutch apart in 25+ years so I am not gonna tell you something I can’t remember correctly.

LOL

I would recognize it, as it was about that year when I was driving an AR just south of Waterloo, IA where they were made. Remember well the times I would dig/pull boulders out of the field with the AR. Loved driving it, but frustrated that it had a large turning radius. Not like the JD H narrow front..

But alas, never had the reason to see the insides of the clutch. Just don't let Dad see a time when the clutch wasn't snapped in place when moving. Still remember the blitz up side the head as a reminder..

Hope the OP keeps us informed as this fix continues..

Remove the 4 bolts holding the clutch shaft housing & pull assembly forward exposing clutch engagement fork.

Take your pick. They are all over ebay for under $25 free shipping. entire assembly or just the shaft. Plug and play.

I don't see any ads on Ebay for a A603R clutch operating shaft.

The fork comes out when you remove the 4 bolts in the housing right where the fork broke. Remove those 4 bolts and pull the housing forward and the fork normally pulls out with it.

Thanks for your reply. I have the fork shaft replaced.
