Hi GW, it is either the pilot bearing or the transmission clutch adjustment. The 434 has a 2 stage clutch, 1/2 way stops transmission and to the running board stops transmission and PTO.

Does it have the same grinding problem if you push the clutch all the way to the running board? If it does this would indicate the pilot bearing is not running freely. Either grease in bearing has solidified or run dry.

The danger is that if the pilot bearing seizes completely the tractor will not stop when the clutch is depressed. This could be very dangerous if you are backing into an implement or driving into a shed or someone is standing in the path of the tractor.

Be prepared to grab the fuel shutoff lever.

There is an inspection plate that can be removed but can't see pilot bearing as it is in center of flywheel but can see the throwout bearing and finger adjustment on pressure plate. On the B414 there was a grease zerk on the throwout bearing.

Good luck
