Jim you suggested I should steady my clutch foot against something to try to smooth out the jumpy clutch. Your suggestion does work. Yesterday I held the top of my clutch leg tight against the bottom of the steering wheel while slipping the clutch while backing up. It did smooth out. Soon as I used a 'free leg' the grabbing started again. When I have the leg against the sheering wheel I can't twist my body to see the drawbar but we don't use the drawbar often. Another thing I have observed is the clutch is not as grabby when the mower is engaged, probably because the pull from starting the blades spinning smooths things out, similar to a flywheel. I have a suspicion these tractors were smooth when they were new because the driveline was tight but the affects of old age makes them grumpy, er, grabby. Jim
