Adjust the pedal to the specs in the manual, which should be about an inch and a half of freeplay, I don't have a manual with me for the 10 series, so I forgot the exact figures, but it is over an inch. Also, look for any engine or hydraulic oil dripping out of the bellhousing. If you see any, then that is probably your problem. Those dry clutches hate oil and when it gets on them, they swell and get hard to shift. Another way to tell if it is oil, put the tractor in 7th or 8th gear and let the clutch out. If it slips a little before it stalls the engine, then it has oil on it or something else is wrong with your clutch. If it stalls it right away, then no oil. Our Ford 6610 and 7610 are not the easiest to get into gear, but they are not bad at all with everything working and the clutch adjusted correctly. One thing I have found out is that if you shift it into 1-2-3-4-r first, then shift it into low, you don't grind when shifting it into low range because of the low ratio. Then if you want high range, shift it into high range. Also, check your oil level in the rear end. Make sure it isn't low, if it is, then there may not be enough oil to stop the gears from moving (fluid friction). It won't be much, but it seems to make a difference on ours, and plus, you need if full for the hydraulics too. Good luck. Hurst
