Stuck Clutch?

Dave from Texas · May 7, 2014

A friend needed help. His tractor (28 HP Ford, diesel) acts like it has a stuck clutch. He puts it in gear and with the clutch pressed down he still moves forward. He can see in the site hole that the clutch is separated from the pressure plate. He thinks maybe the pilot bearing is rusted to the drive shaft. He tried to break it free by putting a load on the tractor with no luck. Anyone have anything like this before?

The pilot bearing can go bad and cause that problem, will have to split the tractor to fix.

Is it free from the pressure plate but stuck to the flywheel?

Can you get in there with a screwdriver and pop it lose? I had to do this once with a '62 C60 Chevy truck.

Is it leaking oil or anti-freeze...if it is the clutch could be wet and causing it to stick to the flywhegl ...the fix...repair leak ..soak clutch plate w/ brake clean..
