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.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
