Hello William welcome to YT! What gear did you have it in when you pull started it. Was it low gear? Did you pull it pretty fast before you let out the clutch to start the engine turning? If so you can spin the clutch plate at a very high speed putting a lot of centrifugal force on the clutch plate lining. Then when it starts engaging as the clutch lining touches the flywheel the added stress makes it come apart or rip off of the metal center. What may have happened is one side or the other may have came off so one side still drives. After this you would have noticed a big change in the clutch adjustment. If this is the case if you put it in a mid speed gear and let the clutch out then apply heavy braking to the point of lugging the engine down I would expect the clutch to slip. I am more familiar with this in car and trucks where someone has pulled a vehicle to start it and they go 20 - 30 mph in low gear. I tell you what that clutch gets to turning some RPMs. ALWAYS place the machine being pulled to start in one of the higher gears. I would suggest you buy a service manual for your tractor and properly set both the drive and PTO clutches per the manual. An IT manual as shown in the link is a good starting place. Then see what happens. If it slips under the test described above and the clutch is set properly, there is an apparent problem with you clutch.
