I have '51 3800 I've recently finished but can't seem to find the right lubricant to stop the clutch from squeaking as it rubs going in and out through the floor. I have the same noise in my allis Chambers 7000.
Any suggestions on what might work best to stop the squeaking?

The clutch pedal has a nut on it securring it's shaft to the pedal arm, so loosen that shaft a bit and twist it a bit and that should do it. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 | However there Farmer, That sound is what makes a StoveBolt so "Wonderful"  Cliff59 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | I'm with Cliff, my 61 makes a great squeak when i depress and release the clutch pedal. It is not too loud or annoying, but it adds to the old truck thing. Someday I will probably grease the hinge thingy, but for now I let it squeak. I think that my pedal is a completely different assembly, mine looks easier to "de-squeak" than yours. Good luck.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 20 | Hmmm? worn bushings on the pedal shaft? that could be it.
I don't believe it's the cab mounts. When I redid this old Pennslvania farm truck I got a rust free cab from Oklahoma and all new cab mounts.
I'll have a look and see if there is some play between the pedal and the shaft.
Thanks for the tip. | | |
