Ford 4500 Backhoe

Tractor runs and works good except the clutch. Very recently had bearing and plate replaced, now the clutch only works for about 15 minutes. This means that after 15 minutes the clutch will not disengage the transmission. Turn the tractor off, wait 15 minutes and the clutch will work for another 15 minutes. Does anyone know what is wrong with the clutch. Need to sell the tractor, here in central NC.

Is there free play in the clutch pedal? If it's adjusted too tight it may be slipping, overheating, and warping the pressure plate.

Was pilot brg replaced? If so could be a bad one.

Sell it to someone who works for the State. They take a 15 min. break every 10 mins. ! Tractor will perform fine for them. LOL
