A Billheimer: How is the clutch adjustment? I forget the exact adjustment but you should have about 1" give or take a bit between pedal arm and deck plate of transmission. Substancially more than that could cause it not to completely release. I your tractor has not seen a lot of use lately, sticking or rust could be problem. Three areas could be problem pilot bearing, release bearing or clutch disc not moving freely on shaft. Do you hear any noise when clutch is depressed, either in gear or out? Release bearing could make a noise any time clutch is depressed, whereas pilot bearing will only make a noise if transmission shaft is stopped as in gear. It is unlikely clutch disc sticking would make any noise. My recomendation would be check clutch adjustment then use the tractor. Pull some good heavy loads. Do a bit of foreward and backing, generally a lot of shifting gears. If you stop to shift gears, will transmission start turning again as you go through neutral? Try letting tractor run with clutch depressed and in gear for 20 min. Hooking it to a tree may be good idea during this 20 min run, most importantly make sure clutch pedal is anchored down well. Your not going to sit 20 min with foot on clutch pedal. This is the cheap fix, you still may have to split tractor for repairs in the end.
