You may have to clean brake discs to get them to hold a little better!!!!!!!   [Reply]   [No Email]

If the clutch is stuck how can you start and run tractor without it moving? The best thing to do is split of course BUT you can try these ideas. 1. Make sure it is out of gear and engine not running. Rock tractor back and forth fairly hard and it might come loose. 2. Very carefully put tractor in an open location. Get on the seat, put tractor in a middle gear, push clutch in, start tractor and while clutch is pushed in push on both brakes hard and clutch make break loose. I have used idea #2 several times with good success.   [Reply]   [No Email]

We got it out of shed and to trailer with my 4-wheeler and then winched it up on trailer. Will try some of your suggestions.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
