Is there a hydraulic throwout bearing for a 3 speed transmission
Is there a hydraulic throwout bearing that will fit a model A 3 speed transmission.
I'm building a Doodlebug with a John Deere LA tractor engine and the LA clutch arm just doesn't seem beefy enough to me and its a bear to actuate. I've looked and can't find a 1-3/4" I.D. hydraulic throwout bearing. Looking for ideas. Bruce |

Adding a hydraulic cylinder and master cylinder should be doable. Take some measurements and head to the local dismantling yard.

It wouldn't be hard to lash up a master and slave hydraulic clutch control if you are handy..plenty of 'donor' cars and trucks outhere that use them

Re: 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". |

They generally come with shims to adjust the throw.

Is it used for a smoother/easier push down?

They are often used where space is limited, such as in race cars.

Re: Is there a hydraulic throwout bearing for a 3 speed transmission
Well I've searched the net and checked Speedway and a few others and all I can find is hydraulic throwout bearings with an 1.375" ID, if anybody knows of one with a 1.75" ID I certainly would appreciate your input.

Modify the LA arm, make a brkt for a hyd slave cyl and add a M/cyl. Innovate.
