Ron, How much rain is a rain? We were blessed with a quarter inch Saturday, it totaled more than we received April thru July (didn't have any rain May thru July). I've never seen or heard about a clutch sticking until I read this board. Maybe it's one of those "Pacfic Northwest, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington(State), Idaho, Oregon etc." things. We are supposed to be the rain capitol of the world, but after 50 years I now realize that sagebrush, cactus and scorpions are native desert dwelling creatures I share the central part of Washington with. I do wish you well, and hope you get the tractor running without any drastic "free the clutch" measures. I just threw a little humor in there. Now on the more serious side, here in the dryland, my father and grandfather swore up and down that the dust and dirt the grease and oil collected, caused more wear on farm equipment than neglect did. We still greased and oiled everything except the plow. Just made sure to wipe off any excess lube. As for plows,,, well a friend of mine, from the wet side of the state, was the first to inform me of the need to "oil the plow shares" to prevent rust. Never heard of it before, we just polished them in the sand the first time we used them in the season. Then used them to plow the rest of the sand we called a farm. Wish I could say "Hope This Helps" I just do not know what type of rain you received. ATW/WA
