Hi Dan,
Sorry for the late response, i've been very busy with Easter Weekend here, but I can't believe how deep your tractor is stuck! Your rotovator is not the best way to dig a new Channel Tunnel THe drive without the diff lock on will power the left wheel, so when the diff lock is engaged, it will power the right wheel like you are reporting. I am not entirely sure what would cause you to loose power to your right wheel, however could it be the lever that shifts from high gear to low gear not engaging, or stuck in the middle? If you are getting power to the right wheel with the diff lock, I agree that it is most likely not your clutch. I am going to do some research and read my service manuals and see what I can find on this. I would double check your low to high range lever and try shifting between the two, and try driving the tractor in low gear. It has always seemed to me that the Hi/Low lever is dangerously close to the diff lock pedal. I wonder if there is some type of issue with your wheel shaft on the left side? I'll see what I can find. We are in terrible mud season here too..
