Put in a new clutch, plate, and bearing in my Spryte 1201b two years back. I have an OC-4 with no tranmission. I just noticed when the clutch pedal is fully depressed the drive shaft starts to spin up after the drive-shaft brake is released. I went to adjust the linkage between the clutch cylinder and clutch lever, and noticed oil on the threaded bar and the rubber housing around the cylinder. I am not sure if the oil is coming from the cylinder or dripping from spills when filling the engine oil.
I thought maybe when the clutch was replaced, the linkage was not adjusted quit right and now the piston has to travel too far. Perhaps this is allowing oil to leak and might be fixed by just adjusting the linkage. Maybe not.
The clutch pedal goes all the way down to the floor so I am concerned about a leak. I see the clutch cylinder in the cab has a rubber boot on top of it that a rod from the pedal passes through. Given the cylinder's funny shape, I assume it also contains the reservoir. Can someone tell me how to check the oil level in it? If it is low, what type of fluid is recommended. Just regular automotive type?
If I determine the cylinder by the clutch is leaking, what is the best way to go - rebuild or replace. Either way, does anybody have a part number for the rebuild kit or cylinder? Thanks in advance for any information.
