The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Is there a hydraulic throwout bearing for a 3 speed transmission

The doodle bugs I've seen with JD engines usually used the LUC drive set up from the pull behind combine. It's the same basic engine as the LA but a different drive. It seems to me that it's a small three spring clutch. It should be easier to actuate.

Hydraulic clutch actuators are out there but I don't remember what the input retainer sleeve diameter is. The Ford stuff had some pretty big ones and a lot of the later stuff is less than 1.375".
