There are few ways it can take off and go without first being in gear. Which would require the clutch to be down. Here is my thinking (and it happened to me 3 weeks ago). If the tractor was standing idling in neutral the intermediate bearing could have gotten crossed up rollers and jambed just like a one way clutch. This causes the tractor to jump ahead like it was in high gear. It might not go very far due to the bad starting ratio, but it could move 2 to 3 feet. I started our Subaru outback 2000 model, when it was 15 below Zero. I had it in Neutral (stick shift) and the engine was turning about 2500 on the start cold cycle. The Ebrake was applied fully. I got out to unhook the power cord from the engine heater , and as I reached down to undo it, the car made a snapping noise, and lurched hard forward. The emergency held the car, and it stopped the engine in 1/4 revolution. It scared the bejeeeebers out of me. I was convinced it was toast and ruined. I got into the car, pressed in the clutch (A must do before starting) and it cranked right up and ran well. I began to let out the clutch, and the engine lugged down and it started to move forward. I released the brake, and it would pull the car forward as though in fourth (direct). I went in and told my wife the car was toast. We both went out and it seemed as stuck as if welded. If put in any gear but 4th, it would kill the engine. (like two gears at once) in 4th it moved as described. We put the car in Neutral, and pushed it backwards out into the alley with the clutch pushed down. I was going to see if I could ride the clutch enough to get it to speed in that gear to see if it could be freed. We pushed maybe 20 feet. I got in and started the car to try it. As I let out the clutch, it started to move then began (not all at once, to free up. After 2 to 4 seconds, it went completely free, and I was able to back and drive as normal. We have been driving it for the time sense with no issues. But we never trust it idling alone. Tell us more details. JimN

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
