In Reply to: Farmall C Clutch Problem posted by Robert Benzon on September 12, 2003 at 09:38:06:
Robert - this happens a lot. The clutch disk has rusted and bonded itself to the flywheel/pressure plate. A couple ways to correct: 1 - If you have another tractor or vehicle capable of pulling your C, chain it to the front of the tractor. Block the clutch pedal down (or have an assistant ride on the seat and depress the clutch fully), put the transmission in the highest gear, then pull the tractor forward a few feet. Now move the tow vehicle around to the back and pull the tractor backward a few feet (tractor still in high and clutch depressed). Usually the clutch will pop free after 2 or 3 of these forward and back pulls. (For safety remove the center wire from the distributor so the motor can't start before attempting this!) 2 - If you have a large, flat open area this will also work: Start the tractor in low gear. Then with the engine at low idle "snap" shift the transmission a gear at a time until you've got the tractor rolling in high gear. (Don't worry - as long as you are on level or slightly downhill ground, snap shifting won't hurt the transmission). Once you've got it in high, open the throttle about 2/3, then stand on the clutch and both brakes at the same time. Unless it's stuck hard (unlikely) the clutch will pop free as soon as you hit the brakes. Good luck and be careful!!
