I am addicted, to TBN read it everyday..
but today I was out working the tractor and noticed a leak in the tire, so aired it up and went to do what I could before it went flat again,knowing I had a job ahead of me to repair the tire.
Anyways as I was backing up I heard this wicked SNAP. sound and the cluthc pedal whent to the floor.:confused2:
First thing that went through my head was that the spring on the pressure plate had blown .:confused2:
I got off and coulnt see anything wrong so started it up and it still had worked . well at least the drive train
the pto, part I wasnt sure of. limped back to the house. And then found the problem/ clutch return spring had snapped.
They are real tough springs , so i used two springs from an old mattress and it works fine now.:thumbsup:
Quite the scare....but see all the threads of splitting the tractor in half went through my head.Oh not sure if it was a normal reaction but I quickly thought as I drove back, Maybe its time to trade.. lol
At any rate I dont hold anyone here respnsable LOL
These nightmares just have to be discussed,,,
