Massey Ferguson 135 Clutch Sticks

[BarbE]

Hello all, I have a hard working MF 135. In the past 2 years the clutch does not completely release...with the pedal fully down, the tractor will continue to crawl along. This seems to only occur during hot weather/when the transmission is hot. I've adjusted the pedal, but does not seem to help. Hoping I'm missing something simple and do not have to split the tractor to look...thanks....

Sounds like replacing the clutch may be in order. I'd guess there is some clutch facings that are catching/grabbing enough to not slip by.

I'd try getting up against a tree or something immovable, and slip the clutch with the engine reved and in high gear to burn off or wear off the ragged facing.
