560 stuck clutch

jmducks1 · Sep 14, 2011

my 560 lp has a stuck clutch i think? It grinds when your stopped to get it in gear, and wont stop when you push the clutch in. How can i get it un stuck?? Probably a stuck clutch right?

#1 block the clutch pedal down for a few days then give it a try. If that does not work and you have it out in the open start it in as high a gear as you can and take it for a drive but only if you can do so safely. If that does not work pull the starter off and spray the clutch with brake cleaner spray and turn the engine over a little at a time so as to get the whole clutch. Do that with the pedal blocked down. Not uncommon to have that happen to a tractor and most of the time one of those will do the trick

Old, if it could safely be done we would hook a plow or a pull behind implement like a tandem disk or spring harrow. Push the clutch down under load and it would eventually break free.Always with the hand on the switch to cut it off if anything unplanned happened.

my 660 does the same thing. i have to split the tractor and see whats going on. the clutch is not stuck though, as it shifted wonderful till i pull started it at the tractor pull with a dead battery cause no one had booster cables.for some reason the batteries went mysteriously dead overnite. must have been those J.D. guys up to no good.

Remove the clutch cover underneath, and check all three release levers/fingers. the pins tend to wear an oblong hole in the lever, which does not allow full cluth disengagement. You can patiently adjust them. Watch your fingers!

Best of luck.

I'm guessing it is NOT stuck, but rather it is WAY out of adjustment, or something has broken. Get out your owners manual and follow the step by step procedure for adjust the free travel, and also for adjusting the T.A.

Mine sometimes will do it if I leave it set for a long amount of time.If it is just "sticking" from setting,I fire it up in gear and drive it right out the barn door !!!! After using it for a few minutes,it will disengage.

Ya I left out the part of putting a load behind it but in the past I have also said to hook up a load but that can be hard to do with a stuck clutch
