ford 851 problems

[rambler]

Another possibility is getting oil on the clutch. There is a plate under your tractor, with a weep hole in it, under the clutch. This little hole should have a cotter pin in it, jiggling around to keep it draining. If the rear oil seal on your engine goes, or the front oil seal on the tranny goes, it iwll drip oil out of that weep hole. The oil may splatter on your clutch.

Now, if this is the problem - well you still have problems, as how does one clean up an oiled clutch????

If you have an 851 and not an 861, then it is a simple single clutch, should be the cheaper version. A bad single clutch will also affect the pto, and that should slip under heavy load as well.

In my experiences.. oiled clutches grab and stick... worn or ill adjusted clutches slip... oiled worn clutches grab and then slip.. etc.
