Ford Jubilee frozen clutch

• tOTG sticky clutch fix

If you have a big 2 or 3 bottom plow or double disc, use them for a while. Raise and suddenly lower the plow. The shock can help pop loose the clutch. As others have said, may take an hour or 2 after it is all up to operating temps.

Normally a tractor used on weekends will not stick, but if one sits for over a month, it's a good practice to block it down. Certainly one that is idle over the winter should be down. I use a C clamp or a vice grip.

Remove bush hog drive shaft from tractor.. shift pto to engaged on tractor.. block clutch down... be pointed in direction of some grass to mow... start tractor in gear... get to mowing.. make a bunch of figure 8's and stomp the breaks on the outside wheel when doing so... should eventually break free if it is not a total rusted up lost cause ( like the shaft is rusty.. etc.. )

Heck.. most of the time the shock load from starting the mower in gear will pop them loose.

remember.. to start it in gear, ya need a pocket knife and you want to be at low throttle and ready for her to take off. Might hold the brakes down just to be mean .. ole starter might pry it apart like that..
