Default "O" Clutch Rebuild

Hi, I have a 65 Original that I recently picked up. It's been painted and had a tune up but I have had to put new springs in the PTO clutch and now the main clutch has gone bad. After tearing it apart it appeared that there was a brass bushing in there that was worn. After replacing and putting it back together it still doesn't seem to work right. It seems like it is not completely releasing, like it is still putting a load on the engine when your foot is off the clutch. Then when you put it in gear with clutch in, in revs up and goes when clutch is released but after about 10 feet it seems to bog down like something is holding it back and the clutch seems to over heat. We greased the bushing before installing and there doesn't seem to be any other ways to grease the system. Kind of at a loss here other than messing with the adjustments underneath. Any suggestions? Is there a forum already created for Original clutch replacement? I didn't see anything..Thanks
