something to check if you would crawl under the tractor there is a weep hole in the torque tube i cant remember where it is but make sure that weep hole aint stoped upsometimes the front seal for the transmission will weep fluid out and if the hole is stopped up the fluid will build up and can cause the clutch to slip my brother-inlaw and i where fixin to break our 560 in half to replace the clutch. his 75 yr old uncle said wait untill i can get over there. he crawled under there with a welding rod and unstopped the hole about a half gallon of stuff came gushing out of that hole i drove the 560 around about twenty min. no more slipping clutch that was about fours years ago still working just fine i would check the adjustment but i would try this also its a whole lot better than breaking it apart

No the 560 does NOT have a wet clutch either in the main engine or the T/A clutch . If it get oil on either one the ya got a problem and that needs to be looked at and fixed . as for the transmission fluid it take Hy Tran and the trans and rear end also serve as the hyd. res. and the check plug is on the left side of the tractor there is a plug that has what looks like a bolt stuck in . They hyd. filter is on the right side . You DO NOT have o drain the transmission to change the hyd. filter. . Since you are a New owner of this tractor then you should get and owners manual and also atleast a IT shop manual for this tractor as this will help you along with the guys on this site . There is not one thing on that tractor that we can not help ya with.

560 does NOT have a wet clutch.

If the clutch is slipping, the first step would be to adjust the clutch and TA linkages EXACTLY the way the manual states. If that doesn't work, it's time to split and replace.

I see this advice here often, and almost always with considerable emphasis on "exactly" following directions. Is that because a shortcuts yield little improvement or because there is potential for making things considerably worse by not doing it "exactly"?

(My 560 clutch/TA needs adjustment, too)

If you don't do it EXACTLY, you will have trouble shifting gears OR you will be causing wear on a throwout bearing, clutch facing, etc.

The clearances inside there are not very big, and things need to work just right.
