Splitting a 3510

[metalchomper]

My 3510 decided it won't move anymore. I've had to adjust the clutch many times. I was doing a little work with it yesterday and when I went to move forward with a buck full of dirt, it started to move and stopped. The clutch now feels easier to push like something let go. When in neutral, I can hear what sounds like normal gear noise in the trans but it won't move. I did check and wiggle all the linkages including the 4wd lever. I believe the clutch is finally gone. I've pushed this tractor too hard over the years. I've pushed over a bunch of trees with the stump bucket and I believe either the clutch has failed or something worse in the drivetrain. Anyone ever split one of these? Any tips, pictures, or videos?

Sounds like the clutch to me as well. How many hours on it now?

Before splitting the tractor check your clutch adjustment and look for part of the linkage that possibly came undone. When a clutch fails it usually gives some warning like slipping in higher gears. A failed clutch does not necessarily get easier to depress.

well it could be your clutch, but from what your saying it possible the clutch rod broke, i would be hard pressed to say it was the clutch assembly right away as it was working before then just stopped, i would look at your linkages at the clutch pedal and see what may be broken.
