International 240 utility

I just picked up a 1961 International 240 and the clutch was not working too well. The adjustment was all the way out so I decided to break the tractor in half and put in a new one. A formidable task but I separated the two halves and replaced the clutch pressure plate and throw out bearing. The clutch disk wasn't bad but the throw-out bearing was shot. The sleeve under the throw-out bearing was also shot. I replaced everything in there, cleaned up the entire area and put it back together. Another fun job. The problem I have seems to be the same as when I started. The clutch grinds when I depress the pedal. I can't adjust the clutch pedal or get any disengagement of the clutch. Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Do you mean the gearbox grinds when you try to engage a gear or do you mean the clutch on it's own?
Maybe when the previous clutch was changed the driven plate got bent and is dragging?
Is the spigot bearing in the flywheel OK?
These seem to be the only bits you didn't replace!

The clutch itself grinds. I did also change the small pilot bearing in the flywheel. I don't know what you mean by the driven plate.

re your clutch grinding,hope you got it in time,this noise comes from the yoke clutch release, it holds the bearing that release the clutch this yoke gets bent, and allows bad alignment of the bearing and pressure plate,which tears every thing up.also the rod that activates the yoke, allows the bottom of the yoke to rub on the pressure plate, make sure you have a 3 3/4 inch throwout bearing and not a 31/4 0r 31/2
yoke no.47 716 d from ih chassis page:

The driven plate is the friction plate that fits between the flywheel and the pressure plate. It is splined to the gearbox input shaft and so is driven by the friction between itself and the flywheel and pressure plate, when the clutch is engaged. Perhaps just different nomenclature on opposite sides of the pond.
