Clutch won't engage on my MT160D

[PDX]

Hi Guys,
I've poked around through the many threads and don't know if I have a stuck clutch or somethings else.

I have it blocked now as I read a note from Soundguy. I'll leave that way for a few days.

I had removed the bolt to the bottom of the clutch assembly and had forgot to replace so it was open all winter. Since I live in Oregon I'm assuming it allowed moisture in. (dumb move, I know).

I have other issues with this tractor but didn't know if I should post them all here or start a new thread? Input appreciated.

Thanks

unstuck the clutch. Combination of mower attached and placing it in 2nd gear vs 1st gear on the PTO.

What is the recommended gear to run your mower? 1st or 2nd on the PTO?

You should run the attacment at the rated speed. My mower is a 540 rpm. On my mt372 that is the "1" position on the pto....and welcome to the forum.

Thanks. I'll have to dig up the info on my mower, I'm not sure what the rated speed is.
