I started this post with a tractor that would not turn over. The
reason that it would not turn over was because the bell housing
was half full of water (at least 1/2 gallon). The starter solenoid
was shot. I rebuilt the starter and bought a new solenoid. The tractor
will start and run fine now. The problem I am having now is the clutch
is engaged against the flywheel. I am the second owner.
I have not had the tractor under water. The previous owner stored it
out doors. I store it in a barn. I found the drain plug and drained it.
I drug my tractor all over my property yesterday. The clutch was depressed.
I put it in high range 2 gear. The tires on the tractor would not
Turn. I then went to 3 gear the tires would turn. I drug it about five hundred
Yards with no luck. This tractor only has around 70 hours on it. I really do not
Want to split it if I can avoid it. I also engage the front differential. Any ideas
on getting it disengaged?
There is an access hole on the right side of the tractor in the bell housing.
If I start the tractor and spray Break clean on the clutch while it is spinning
do you see a problem with that? The only other access that I can find
is where the starter mounts up and the drain plug. this tractor does have loader on it.
If I remove it are there more access holes behind the loader brackets?
