So I survived the outrageous amount of water. The house is fixable and insured.
But when I got back to the house after the water receded, I wanted to check on my beloved tractor!
The water line was about halfway up the rear wheel. So I was kinda optimistic and decided to see if she would start up.
Everything behaved exactly as expected and she fired up.
But, when I push in the clutch, she doesn't want to go into forward or reverse easily. AND even with the clutch pushed all the way in (disengaged?) the tractor wants to move forward or backwards as though the clutch is not disengaging. Bummer!
So, did the clutch plate rust and stick to the flywheel? (I only guessing since I haven't ever seen the inside of the TC35. 12 years old with only about 300 hours on it. Been 100% bullet-proof until now.
Just looking for some troubleshooting techniques advice please fellas. (process of elimination)
