Whatever blows your dress up. Really don't care, just relaying how I did it twice. Not an issue anymore as I said. I have no dry clutches. All wet, multi plate.
But it is an issue! You indicate it is 1 of only 2 options!
The OP asking about a not uncommon situation with older compact tractors, indicates his newbie-ness to tractors.
You recommend a dangerous procedure as either do this or split the tractor. You even go so far as to indicate that PTO power does not pass through the clutch/flywheel.
You claim you are more careful in your latter years, but I would say you have lost all sense of reasonableness if you ever possessed any.
I will freely confess I have dine some pretty dumb stuff in my 60 years, but I have never recommended such a hair brained potentially deadly thing for anyone to do, even IF I did it and lived to tell about!
In my opinion your behavior is criminal!
Do it matters greatly what you tell people do!
Just hopefully those you tell have more sensibility that you exhibit! So yes I will point out the of your suggestion hoping others will think before follow such advice.
Now you have me as a ranting old man
