Nathan, the clutch release bearing can be reached by removing
the cover plate at the bottom of the clutch housing. The clutch
pilot bearing can be reached by turning the crankshaft slowly
until the third (single) notch in the fan drive pulley is in line with
the pointer on the front cover. This comes right out of an
original manual. If i recall correctly, that grease zirk is recessed
right in the flywheel itself. I think it's more likely that the pilot
bearing is at fault. The throwout bearing would just make a lot
of noise. Now don't grease the ever-lovin heck out of the pilot
bearing. It's small and too much graese will get on the clutch
linings and flywheel face, which is generally considered a bad
thing. It also could be one or more of the clutch fingers as
someone else suggested. I know you have an overrunning clutch
on the PTO, but I'm just curious if it would do the same thing
with the PTO off. I imagine that when you would back up that hill
and hit the clutch, the mower would woof to a stop. I wonder if
the weight of the tractor is putting tension on the gears on the
hill, and the fact that the mower is bound up at that point is
contributing to the gears being under tension, or wanting to
turn. Probably not,tho. It doesn't seem to fit everything that you
are saying. Just thinkin' out loud.
