I was moving some round bales with it yesterday and was down to about 10 bales and the clutch started to get a little sticky . As I was finishing it seamed to engage closer to the floorboard then noticed when I pushed the clutch in at a idle the eng. would labor but was fine when I let it out . There was no odd noise and it operated fine . When I got to the barn and shut it off it did seem to shut down pretty fast like there was alittle presure on something .Have not pulled the inspection plate yet , anyone have any ideas what may have happened . Thanks
 
Well your not going to like this BUT it may vary well be that the thrust bearing or as some call it the main thrust bearing may have started to spin. When you push the clutch pedal down you are forcing the crankshaft forward against the thrust bearing and everything works like it is suppose to . Then something happens and it runs dry for a split second or something causes the tri metal to flake off or grab and it spins maybe a bunch maybe just enough to cause a bind and labor the engine just a wee bit .or lock it up tight as a drum. I am not sayen that this is the problem this is the worse case that it could be and if the engine was laboren and does this when you push the clutch down this is where i would be looking and FAST .
 
I say you are right because it has been dropping oil pressure after it gets warmed up . It has been on light duty for awhile moving bales and spliting wood trying to get that last day out of it . This would be a good reason to stick a air conditioner in the garage window , been to hot in the shop to get any work done in there .
