Kioti Lk3054 Clutch Pedal Adjustment

[steve terplak]

Hey guys,
My father in law has a Kioti LK3054, he does not like the feel of the clutch. The clutch engages at the very top of the pedal, so there is no free play in it at all.
Is there a way to adjust this on the Kioti's? He does not have a service manual and has been unable to obtain one, even through the dealer.
The clutch and adjustments are a little different than those on my old masseys.
I will attach a picture of the linkage below the pedal, I am thinking therein lies the key.
Thanks

Looks like you could adjust that yoke and get your free play. Ron Mn

The galvanized piece with the all thread attached?
That doesn't look heavy enough to be clutch linkage.

The curved blue piece going under the running board?
That looks more like the clutch pedal.

Just follow the clutch pedal, it should take you to some point of adjustment, either a pinch clamp type adjustment, or an adjustable linkage. The amount of freeplay is not that critical, as long as there is some. Typically 1/2 to 1 inch is normal. You don't want the release bearing in constant contact with the pressure plate fingers.

Steve,Just adjust that clevis out on the rod further. As said below that will give you more free pedal.
