Read articles →This is the final installment (part 28) of a long DIY series documenting a full clutch replacement on a New Holland Boomer 40 by splitting the tractor. It covers post-repair wrap-up: checking for leaks, an oil-pan quirk causing false overfill readings, neutral safety switch adjustment, brake pedal play, and a test drive confirming the clutch engages aggressively. Best for owners who watched the earlier parts or are doing this exact repair themselves and want the final checks and results.
Posted by the trac nunya channel, an owner documenting their own hands-on clutch-split repair rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
It has a tunnel hole oil pan for the front driveshaft, so oil fills one side first. You must start and run the engine, then recheck, or it will actually be low on oil.
It engages aggressively with almost no play area. In highway range fourth gear at idle it can throw you off the seat, and without the loader it pops wheelies.
The neutral safety switch needed bending and further adjustment for sensitivity, and the brake pedals have play that needs removing at the bottom linkage before adjusting further.
