A Cub I bought grinds the gears slightly (reverse and 2nd) when I shift; however, once I shift it into gear, I can change to another gear without problems if I keep the clutch in. I can hear the transmission turning a little when the clutch is in. Here's what I tried so far: 1. I replaced the throwout bearing. The clutch disk looked to be a good thickness, but I didn't remove the pressure plate to look at the faces. 2. I adjusted the clutch pedal until the throwout bearing was 1/8" from the plate. At this point, I could hear some "grinding" when I pushed the pedal all the way down with the tractor in neutral. The pedal also would push back on my foot. Also, regardless of what I do, the rear pulley always grinds when I try to engage it. I adjusted the pedal until the grinding sound in #2 stopped, and that's where I am now. I now have a bearing clearance of about 3/16". It seems to me that the transmission is still turning a little when I put the clutch in, but when I put it into gear it stops turning; maybe it's not completely disengaging. I would like to know what else I could do to fix this, or at least find out why I'm having this problem. Thank you.

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
