Quick Question for the LK3054 Owners..

[Denis A LeBlanc]

Good Morning. I have the LK 3054 and after sitting for a week, I went to move the tractor and found that I was having an Issue putting the tractor into gear or high low range it it's already in gear. Tried to adjust the peddle travel, but ran out of travel.. The gears are not meshing, which tells me the clutch assembly isn't disengaged enough.. If I get it into gear, the tractor starts to creeps forward with the clutch peddle down like it's engage.. Opposite of what I think a worn out clutch would be, not grabbing at all, this situation appears like the clutch isn't retracting enough to be able to get it into gear without that terrible gear grind... All at idle RPM... Any help or direction would be appreciated.. Still learning and trying to find a shop repair manual for this.. Saw one on Southern Global parts.??? Thanks for the help.

I had a similar problem with mine years ago, but it was the PTO would not fully disengage.
Have you tried the PTO?
This tractor has a dual clutch where one operates the PTO and the other the drive train. As you let the pedal up, the PTO engages, then the drivetrain.
It's been a while, but I recall there is a small, 2 bolt access cover on the left side of the bell housing where you can check the clearance of the disk(s)/flywheel(s). Mine was slightly under spec. The factory manual I had gave instructions on how to adjust this clearance.
There are 3 nuts or bolts that you loosen and an adjustment collar, but all were not accessible enough to reset the clearance with out splitting the tractor.
I only had 1 PTO implement that I rarely used, so that was not a necessary option for me.
Good luck.
