My 1970 Ford 2000 3 cylinder is in two pieces right now. I have the flywheel all mounted for machining. Now, I find out the spec. I need is not in the repair manual. There are two surfaces on this flywheel. The clutch itself mounts to the higher outer ring. The pressure plate surface is around 1.7 to 1.75 lower. I need the exact spec. on this height difference. I can see this height effects the clutch performance by changing when the PTO and forward disks engage relative to each other. Any suggestions on where to get the spec? Karl

Karl Is it a factory service manual?  I wouldn't be surprised if a 3rd-party manual left that out (with directions to take your flywheel to a clutch shop for service), I _would_ be mildly surprised to see it left out of a factory service manual. If Ford still supports these I'd ask at the nearest Ford tractor dealer; if that doesn't pan out I'd see if I could pry the information from a clutch shop.

If Ford still supports these I'd ask at the nearest Ford tractor dealer; if that doesn't pan out I'd see if I could pry the information from a clutch shop. At least the dealer near me would just look in the same manual I have. I've taken other stuff to the engine shop near me. They ask me to get the specs. I think Ford must play hard to get with these numbers. I just cleaned up the two surfaces. They sure look nice at 1.700 between the two levels. The Kid may have to run back to his lady for the weekend. So, it can sit in the machine for a couple days. Karl

Karl No need of the specs, what you remove off the flywheel face, you remove also of the mounting face. The original dimension is easily ascertained if needed, as the clutch disc never wipes the full diameter of the flywheel surface. Service manuals? What is the US fixation on these? Never seen one yet that gave these details. All they say is replace the flywheel when it requires resurfacing. It is a F.O.R.D after all. Tom
