New clutches in, gaps set, hydraulics put back in place however, my clutch isn't releasing. Start it up, go to put it in gear and grinding. Turn it off, put it in gear, start it and it moves with the clutch depressed. Ahhhgggg!!!
Rechecked my adjustment on the three fingers and they are at 1/8". Any ideas before I proceed any further?

I would start by opening the inspection port and having an assistant push on the clutch pedal while you look and see if the fork and bearing move. There are a lot of linkages between the pedal and the bearing and sometimes they come loose.

Now that I've said that, I'll admit that when I replaced my clutch I put the spring for the PTO in backwards and had the same symptoms. You can read about it here:

The good news is that splitting the tractor goes much faster the second time.

My PTO works like a charm without any grinding when engaging. However, the drive clutch is the one that is grinding. Once I get it in gear, there better not be anything in your way because it is going to move, doesn't matter if the clutch pedal is engaged or not, it's gonna move. Looks like I will be splitting it today to recheck how I put the clutch pack back together.
Did you ever figure out how to do the "stack height" while it was off of the tractor?
Thanks!
