Ok so I went and picked up my friends 65 last night. He actually let me load it on my trailer and coming out of the farm it was on I gave him the slip and I was scot free to head to my place. Alas, I still went to his.
Anyway, the gas motor started like a top. Kicked right on and ran beautifully. We did find a receipt where the engine had been rebuilt in 1998.
The big issue that does need to be addressed is there is a clutch problem. I could not get the clutch disengaged. You can feel the gears hitting as you try to engage them.
I had to shut the engine off put it into gear, start it back up then slip the hi-low lever into gear to get it moving. This was fun when it rolled too far on the trailer and I had to stop the engine put it in reverse start it again to back up a couple of feet.
Same it true of the PTO. Also, I do not feel any resistance in the clutch pedal when I press it.
Soooo, ideas on what the real issue culd be? Clutch package rebuild needed, Linkage, other?
I did not look to see if the clutch housing drain was clear (cotter pin) nor did I take off the inspection plate.
Thanks for you input.
