Ran it around a little today. Just exercising it and checking for leaks seeps and drips. Found I need to pull the engine oil pump and replace a couple of tube packing's. Steered nice. Brakes work. Three point works. Auxiliary remote hydraulics work fine. A little slower than I am used to but passable. Now the problem. The Clutch on this thing takes 2 men and a dozen boys to depress it. Can someone point me in the right direction on this? And another request is if the adjustment requires a manual reference please please send me a copy of the pages needed or at least a very detailed set of directions. Are all the 1206's equipped with a boosted clutch and if it is, is the boost mechanism, cylinder or what ever internal? I noticed that on the right side of the tractor right under the battery is a silver thing that is cylindrical but one end is anchored and the other hooks the the right hand end of the clutch shaft. It looks more like a spring affair rather than a hydraulic device since there are no lines connected to it or places to attach them. This device is right under the batter. I am going to attach a photograph and I hope you all can see it and can tell me whats going on. I just had my left knee replaced and I wasn't looking forward to wearing the darn thing out before the middle of the season. I went onto the Case IH site and looked into the parts manuals and couldn't find anything on this boosted clutch, leaving me to believe that maybe this model wasn't equipped but as stiff as that thing is there has to be something wrong. I hope its something simple. I am counting on all you IH Gurus to help me out of this one. In the picture you can see it under the battery sloping back at about a 45 deg angle and looking like a shiny screen door closer. I can't see that it does anything. I also included a picture of the left side. You all feel free to save these pics and make notes or what ever and you can either post it back here or catch me by email. If you want to chat about it on the phone email me and I will call you or you can get my number. I just need to get this thing fixed. Thanks from a man that doesn't have all the answers. Everyday provides a learning opportunity. LarryT

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
