All the threads I found about dealing with a stuck clutch started with the tractor sitting for a while. I didn't find any where the clutch got stuck during use.
So, I was using the tractor, when the threaded rod rolleyes the PO used to connect the clutch pedal to the clutch lever broke. I got the clutch probably half way (or more) disengaged when it broke. I hadn't touched the shifter yet; just pushed the clutch pedal in. I popped it out of gear using the shifter to come to a stop, since it no longer turns off with the key (another issue )
Anyways, fixed the rod, and now the clutch pedal moves through it's normal range of motion, but with no resistance at all. It's like the throwout bearing is seized to the shaft and not releasing.
I've already tried driving around goosing the throttle, and I nosed it into a large post and bumped the starter while in gear/brakes on/mower pto engaged a dozen+ times.
I already split the tractor last year to replace a chipped gear in the transmission, and really don't want to do it again :laughing: At the time, I'm pretty sure I lightly lubed the transmission shaft, and the throwout bearing was in good condition.
So how long do I wait to hope it pops out by itself before I split it again?
