I致e been moving sand with the loader and some light clearing of weeds nothing really too overgrown.
The last day or so I noticed a lack of power. I had trouble backing up. Seemed to take a while after engaging the clutch. This is on level ground.

I now also can稚 climb even a slight incline.
In foward or reverse (midrange second gear)

It seems like a bad clutch. How difficult and expensive is it to replace the clutch in a 1920?
I致e ordered a repair manual.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you a live PTO? if so then you have dual clutch setup, parts are expensive but labor is about the same with a bit more time on adjustment for dual clutch vs single. There may be an outside chance that release bearing is pushing on fingers on pressure plate (i.e disengaging the clutch ) slightly when the clutch pedal is released. In other words your are riding clutch unintentionally to the point your clutch plate is slipping. if that happens to be the case adjustment of the clutch may help you. Replacing old clutch with a new needs a tractor split, if you are handy have time and a place (cement floor) it is not a major issue. The labor should be between $1100 to $1400 minus the part in my area. I'll make sure I check it all before I take a dive.
