I measured the clutch free play incorrectly from the step to the bottom of the clutch pedal (ï½½ inch). Today, I found in the manual the correct way. It was a little over an inch. Now it's about 1.2 with the end of the rod about ⅛ inch inside the yoke.
When I drive the tractor and increase the rpm's, it does not go any faster, the engine just revs up.
I did grease all the fittings on the tractor and the FEL liberally. I sprayed all the various cable linkages.
I will change the coolant today. I cannot change any of the other fluids because I do not have any filters.
I was hoping that the free play adjustment would take care of the clutch slipping problem.
But I knew going in that the clutch probably need would need replaced and had that figured in the budget.
Again, thanks to all for your advice and help!!

Nice looking tractor!
If you find yourself wanting a wider rear stance for the tractor, your rear wheels appear to be on the widest narrow stance.
I know, clear as mud. I’ll try to explain. Your wheel dish is dish in not dish out. Simple to change but a bit of work (even more if tires are fluid filled), jack yo the rear axle and support (jack stands should do the job). Then move the wheel/tire from one side to the other (L to R and R to L). They are dish out. Also your centers can be repositioned on the rims (notice the tabs and bolts at the rim ends of the wheel center.
As for your clutch, I too was hopeful thar free travel would correct the clutch issue.
But there were concerns when you said your nephew had an inspection plate off. If you have a manual, try to determine how the lever should be oriented. Also look for grease or oil on the flywheel surface—if either are present they are on the clutch plate as well.
