I've had an issue with the clutch on my ?9 (I think) Ford 3000, gas tractor for a while, and it's getting bad enough that it's time to get it fixed. It's not a normal worn clutch issue, and though I had someone tell me what was likely causing it, it's been long enough that my brain decided I didn't need that information anymore. The issue is the clutch slips after depressing the clutch. The more I hold the clutch down, the worse it slips. If I "pop" the pedal it usually takes off, but if I have to work the clutch repeatedly for the job I'm doing it gets to the point it doesn't want to go at all. During the summer it was barely a problem, but since it's cooled down it's giving me a lot of trouble. And now is when I need to feed the cows regularly, so I can't have it quitting on me. From what I recall, there's a seal leaking internally that's allowing oil to get on the clutch. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks for any help.
