1070 clutch adjustments

I have an old JD 1070 which I replaced the dual clutch on last month. It seemed to be working nicely, my grounds guys have not had any issues with the PTO, transmission, anything up until a few days ago, the clutch pedal stopped disengaging the clutch.. I adjusted the pedal and got a lot of the play out of it to see if that would help disengage it a little more but I don't think it made much of a difference. Is there any adjustments I can do through the side access port? Unfortunately I don't have a 1070 service manual. Just curious if there's anything in here I can adjust or if anyone else had a better idea, Id appreciate any help!
