David Brown 1210

Running this tractor today and it ran great up until the very end of the day and she started smoking from this area near the clutch, brake pedals. Would still smoke after I stopped the tractor but tappered off. Smoked real bad when fired back up. This is not my tractor but a friends and I'm hoping to help diagnose the issue. What am I looking at here? Picture attached.

Thanks for your help!

Can't really tell but is that right in front of the steering column?

 

[Hammerem1976]

yes

That would be coming out of the clutch housing is my guess. Thats where the clutch/pto is on my 1200. Was you working it hard with plows or working the pto hard with a brush hog something that would strain it? I would let it cool and check clutch adjustments and see if I could tell it was slipping or not.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I was moving a bunch of wood and dirt with the loader. I'm guessing the clutch pad is toast. How hard is it to replace that?
