hi everybody I just bought a used mitsubishi MT1601D tractor and now i seem to be having problems with the clutch. basically it makes a horrible grinding sound when I put the tractor in any gear (and yes the clutch is fully depressed). It is possible to force it into whatever gear I want but when I engage the PTO to use the mower it often will kill the engine. I have found that if I put the tractor in gear, start the PTO on the first setting, and then shift the PTO into its full operational setting i can avoid killing the engine and the whole thing works. I checked all the hydro/gear/oil fluids and they are full. Long story short - do i need a new clutch?
