Oh no momnet on the IH584

So I went to use the IH584 to go out and check deer cams. Started it up and climbed on and pushed the clutch pedal down to put it in gear. Would not go into gear just grind. So I shut it off put it in gear and started it. Didn't think about the fact I could not shut it off and even with the bucket down it went about 20 feet and almost hit a Case VAC I have. Just a it was about to hit the other tractor the clutch freed up. Never had that happen on it before. But maybe the fact we have had 3 plus inches of rain in the last couple day us and being humid and cool did the stuck clutch thing to it. Might have to rethink it next time LOL
 
Hi Old, it could be a stuck clutch plate. BUT could also be pressure plate fingers worn off caused by seized release bearing wearing the fingers off. If you remove the clutch inspection plate in the bottom of the bell housing and with a light you can inspect release bearing and pressure plate fingers. Two winters ago my brother almost ran the snow blower on his 684 into the back of his neighbor's car when the clutch release bearing wore the fingers off the pressure plate and the 684 would not stop. Luckily he pulled the stop lever in time.

Whew!! That feeling sure does pucker the lips. I was driving our Chevy flat bed with 8 ton of 16 foot 2X12s on a 14 foot bed. The fornt was light, but drove (field) ok. My brother and I decided to dump the load rather than hand unload each piece. I lifted the bed 3 feet at the front when it decided it was heavier behind the axle than in front. The cab was a good 8 feet in the air. I lowered the bed, and it went up farther. I raised the bed to get the cab back down and drove out from under the load. I was about 15 at the time. Only my brother knew till I just told this story. Jim
 
I know it was a simple stuck clutch disk to the flywheel or pressure plate since it worked fine after it freed up. Just need to remember to add a kill cable SOON. LOL
 
That sounds like a dump truck I drove one time and only one time. It was an air ride truck that you could not let the air out of the bags so when the bed would go up so would the front end. I was lucky I had another guy running with me so every load he would get out and watch and if the front end came up more then 2 foot or so he would say down and I would drop the bed. One guy who drove it had it stand up on the bed so he was like 25 foot up with no way down. Took two tow trucks to set it back down. One to control the fall and one to pull it down
 
Might I suggest the next thing you fix is the engine shutoff?

I agree on the worn clutch finger theory, because a clutch does not rust stuck in a couple of days, even in 100% humidity.
