I don't have experience with the 40. But a normal situation I would say the throw out bearing is bad. Are you talking about a two cylinder 40?

The books are out there. Try Jensales. The pilot and throwout bearings probably need replacing. Do both while you have the tractor split. I replaced both on my 420 crawler which is almost an identicle setup to yours. For a few more dollars you may want to have the flywheel turned flat and replace the clutch. You dont want to split the tractor twice, unless of course you like to!
