Is there any servicing that can be done without splitting the tractor? I put a new clutch in 300hrs ago and now I have a dry bearing sound when I push in the clutch pedal. Any ideas what to do, or do I have no option but to split it and replace it?

Was the bearing replaced when clutch was replaced? If it is thrust bearing, nothing to do except split it again. MACK

Had the same thing happen with our 200 loader tractor. Go get the longest 1/8 drill bit you can find and drill a hole in the outside of the brg., then you can lube it with a neddle, rotate it several times and continue to add grease, put a dab of rtv over the hole when finished. It will live until the clutch needs relacing again, then you can drill the hole bigger and install a small grease zerk. Good Luck, Mike

I'm having a hard time believing a new AGCO throwout brg has failed in only 300 hrs of use. Whenever replacing a clutch, you better be adjusting the freeplay of the clutch pedal to be 4 inches minimum (180-190-200) and maintain that distance. Too little freeplay and the throwout brg MAY be spinning all the time which will surely cause a premature failure. Again, I've never seen a failure of a NEW throwout brg if adjusted/maintained properly ( and the operator leaves his foot off the clutch pedal) in only 300 hrs use.

Mine didn't fail, it just got dry and noisy, after lots of loader work and yes I kept the clutch adj. I could never figure out why A-C put a greasable brg. on the wd/wd45's and not the bigger models. Lots of good info in your post Doc., Mike

They quit making it a greasable brg because people overgreased it and grease would get on the clutch. The standard pre-packed throwout brg will generally out-last the clutch (as a rule) if it is kept adjusted properly AND the operator keeps his foot off of it.

Could it also be the pilot bearing? If it is getting hard to shift, I would suspect a pilot bearing, but I had a throwout bearing go bad in a year, but it was an A&I aftermarket bearing.

It shifts fine, I can't remember where the clutch kit came from, its likely not from agco. This is also a loader tractor, but I don't abuse the clutch, adjustment is fine.
