OK so I decided to part out the first 560 and use parts on a second one I bought. Most of my problems are simple change this or do that but I have run into something that may be related. I changed the oil pan gasket thinking that was where it was leaking, wrong. Owen A. suggested taking off the inspection plate by the rear of the pan and seeing where it is coming from. I let it run at an idle for awhile and didn't find any thing. Drove it around and then it started to leak a slow drip from both under the one edge of the crank and also by the seam of the block where the opening is. Now the related part, I have been trying to adjust the clutch the TA and it seems like it bottoms out before releasing. The linkage for the handle and the short linkage are both to the extreme in shortness and when pulled or stepped on to the end of travel, you feel almost a grinding feeling in the lever/handle.The tractor is not releasing so it will roll backwards down a slope with the clutch in, or TA pulled, but yet if the handle is pulled the TA works when moving and does not slip. Is it possible the engine thrust bearing is worn letting the clutch move the crank in when I step on it and then it leaks oil at the same time? I pulled the plate over the TA clutch and didn't find anything that looked wrong and I know the bearing looks good and is not touching the fingers of the clutch when released.I am confused.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
