It was great fun driving her around the yard today. Unfortunately the clutch is frozen. I read thru a bunch of posts on here for advice and think i have tried them all. The clutch pedal has been blocked for the past 2 weeks. I took of the starter and soaked the clutch with brake cleaner. I drove it around with the clutch block and some drag on it for more than an hour. Still the clutch is bound up tight and showing no signs of letting go. Thou I expect there will be no signs just it happens if it's going to. Does anyone have any other ideas to try to free up the clutch? What else do I do? 1949 N with 12volt front mount [Reply]   [No Email]

Take it out and brush hog with it or go plow up some ground with it. Just remember if you have to stop before it frees up reach for the key FAST [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd have doused it with snake oil and let it set.. then tried it... THEN hose the snake oil off with brake cleaner. [Reply]  [No Email]
