I just had this problem with a Ford 600. The clutch plate was rusted to the flywheel. I tried to break it loose by rocking the tractor driving it and applying the breaks and pulling it with another tractor. Nothing worked, time to split the tractor. I have found to support the engine and put a floor jack under the transmission so it can be moved back to access the clutch. After splitting the tractor I found water sitting in the bottom of the bell housing. It appears the water is from condensation. The clutch plate was stuck to the flywheel. A neighbor stopped by, saw what I was doing and left, said something about a birthday party. The only help I had was my wife, she is a good buddy and helper. She follows direction and said it was fun, I don't know what she was smoking. Remove the pressure plate, don't loose the bolts they are a special bolt, the clutch plate and flywheel. The flywheel is heavy, unsure but maybe at least 50 lbs. I replaced the throw out bearing, pressure plate, clutch plate and pilot bearing. I had the flywheel resurfaced, Napa or CARQUEST can do this. I also had them replace the ring gear. You don't want to do this again if you don't have to. You can order the parts from this site, they come in a kit. Make friends with someone that knows how to do this. Have fun, Bill

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
