It's been suggested to me by helpful folks that my clutch is shot...but before I get into splitting the tractor, might anyone else have thoughts (or at least some guidance as to what I might do to diagnose and confirm the cause of the problem)?
I have had a 2001 MF4253 4X4 (with a 12 X 12 speed transmission (L M H with 4 speeds) with a manual clutch and a left-hand operated steering column-mounted shuttle shift) for approx 3 years (with 2500 total hrs.) and it has worked fine. I noticed the past few times I used it that it was getting sluggish to move when the clutch was disengaged...and now it will not move at all, in either direction, in any gear combination. Can any of you offer any suggestions as to what the cause might be and/or how to identify it/possible solutions? I just bought a complete service manual but it does not include any diagnosis sections. Thanks.
