This is what makes absolutely no sense to me? Is the shift gate in the wrong position by either getting loose or did someone adjust it or remove it and not get it back exactly right is the only thing that comes to mind.

DISCLAIMER
.......................DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !....................................
#1 Hook up the pto shaft to a brush hog mower
#2 Start the tractor and PUSH THE CLUTCH IN
#3 Rev engine up to 1800 rpm
#4 Reach down and QUICKLY force the pto lever on with the clutch PUSHED IN. If you do it slowly the gears will grind...
You should hear a little pop noise as the clutch frees itself from the flywheel. I have done this over 30x on tractors that sit in containers for a month, and the clutches are stuck.
HOWEVER, you do this at your own risk, it works for us, but its a little dangerous
keep clear of the mower (kids, pets ect...)

Probably anything with lots of inertia.

Just a brush hog, not much else will work,
Father in law just came and got it while I Was at work, Took it in for service, they got the clutch unstuck somehow... apparently there's a hook or something on the clutch you can set if you're going to have it sitting which prevents it from sticking.
I had a bunch of other problems too that apparently needed fixing, loose fan belt, float didnt work on FEL controls etc....got a fluid/filter service while I was there at the same time.
:thumbsup:
Thanks for all the help guys!

they found oil in the coolant (but no water in the oil), I called the dudes at hoyes and they seemed to think that there might be cracks in the head or possibly the block... I dont think thats the case as theres no water in the oil and the tractor runs great, fires up on the second turn of the starter (except in the winter), it doesn't smoke at all... I'm really hoping it's just a HG.
