The Ford board will probably get you more responses to your question.

It sounds like you have a sticking clutch, but start with the clutch adjustment. I assume you have the 5-speed manual transmission. This tractor has a "double" clutch that controls both motion and the power takeoff. If you push the clutch down halfway, the tractor should stop and the PTO should keep running.

When properly adjusted, the clutch pedal will appear to be unnaturally high; about 10.5 to 11 inches above the footrest. The pedal height is adjusted by means of a clevis on the clutch linkage pushrod. You can move the pin in the clevis between the two holes for coarse adjustments, while turning the clevis on the pushrod will give you fine adjustment.

The other adjustment is freeplay. When you push down on the pedal with your hand, you should feel about an inch of movement before you get any resistance. Free play is adjusted by means of the stop bolt that limits movement of the clutch linkage.

My guess is that you have a rusty clutch. Hard use can help clean it up, but most folks find that once a clutch starts sticking they have to park the tractor with the clutch pedal held down. Clutch replacement on these tractors is an expensive proposition, but maybe not as expensive as running into something.

Good luck.
