Hello I have a case ih 685 tractor no cab 2wd with close to 2k hrs the tractor is pretty new to me and the only case ih ive ever drove. The problem is pretty much everytime the tractor will rake or grind going into gear pretty much in all the gears it is better at a idle and anything above idle is pretty bad about grinding in my opinion. It seems like it gets better as the tractor warms up. The tractor has always been well kept and stored inside from previous owner. I have tried doing some adjustments at the pedal but it hasent seemed to help. The tractor has set alot. I was wondering if anyone knows if these tractors have a pilot bearing or bushing? If it has a bearing has anyone had any problems of the pilot bearing dragging alittle bit. Or would that cause this concern ? Also with the clutch fully pressed the tractor wants to lunge or move alittle bit when putting into gear. The clutch seems to have enough free travel in my opinion. Any opinions or advice will be apreciated Thank you.
