JaNicholson and Wardner, thanks again. I did not look at it any further today. Figured since it was raining I'd do some other projects. Cannot mow in the rain (at least I choose not to).
I was confused on the two bearings. I was looking at the throw out bearing. It did have some play, but otherwise felt ok. I can understand if the pilot bearing is in the flywheel it would grab the trans shaft. I doubt it is the IPTO shaft.
Though the pilot bearing is a possible, I am leaning torward JaNicholson's thoughts on the pressure plate warping or the 4 pad clutch comming apart. I have been using this tractor for loader work and mowing rough ground. What I am saying is I have been using the heck out of the clutch. A lot of mowing was in 1st gear TA. The TA works well.
I have some wear in the holes or bushings thru the bellhousing that the throw out shaft rides. I do not think it is an issue because I adjusted that slack out thru the linkages. I pulled the clutch pedal down and watched the throw out press the fingers and it did not impress me. Unless the pressure plate does not move that much. The book states that disengaged should be about 1/8" clearance between clutch and flywheel. If there was ANY RUNOUT, I can see how that would drag.
I spoke with Dad today. I plan to remove the loader and trailer it down to his place. We are going to split it. As much as I do not want to do this, I think it is probably neseccary. We have a surfaced flywheel on the shelf that we did not use 12-16 years ago. I'll tear it down and order the parts needed. I think the TA (7") clutch is ok because it never slipped in Direct.
